Foams are excellent sound and thermal insulators due to their properties such as low density and thermal conductivity. Foam is mostly produced for the petroleum derivatives. It can rigid or flexible and produced form the various materials such as polyurethane, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyisocyanurate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene-vinyl acetate, nitrile rubber, or other polyolefins. Around 70 to 80% commercial foams are made from the polystyrene, polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride. Solid and gas for are mixed to form foam.
