Construction foam is a kind of lightweight material widely used in the field of construction, which is mainly made of polyethylene (XPE/IXPE) and other polymer compounds through the foaming process. These materials have excellent thermal insulation properties and sound-absorbing and shock-absorbing effects, and play an increasingly important role in modern construction. Depending on the application scenario, construction foam can be processed into sheets, tubes or other specific shapes. The features of architectural foam are:
- light weight: due to its internal structure contains a large number of pores, so that the overall density is much lower than traditional building materials such as concrete or bricks, which greatly reduces the weight of the building.
- good thermal insulation: the fine and closed bubble structure can effectively prevent heat conduction, improve the temperature stability of the room, reduce energy consumption.
- excellent waterproof and moisture resistance: most types of building foam have a certain closed cell ratio, which makes them less likely to absorb moisture, to maintain a dry state, to prevent the growth of mold.
- Strong corrosion resistance: strong resistance to acids and alkalis and other chemicals, suitable for a variety of harsh environments.
- Good sound insulation effect: the porous structure can absorb sound wave energy and reduce the spread of noise, providing users with a quiet and comfortable living space.
- Easy to process and install: it can be cut to any size according to the actual needs and fixed on the wall surface by pasting or nailing, which is easy and fast to operate.
