PVC foam, also known as polyvinyl chloride foam, is a type of closed-cell foam material made from a blend of PVC resin and other additives. PVC foam is lightweight, durable, and versatile, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications. It is a cost-effective alternative to traditional materials like wood, metal, and rubber.

PVC foam can be manufactured in various densities, ranging from low to high, depending on the intended application. It has good chemical and weather resistance, making it suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor environments. It is also water-resistant and has excellent electrical insulation properties.

PVC foam is often used in the construction industry for insulation, as well as in the automotive industry for gaskets, seals, and padding. It is also commonly used in the manufacturing of sports equipment, footwear, and various consumer products. PVC foam can be easily fabricated and formed into a variety of shapes and sizes, making it a versatile material option for many industries.

PVC foam has good chemical resistance against many oils, greases, and chemicals, including diluted acids and alkalis. It is also resistant to UV radiation and weathering, making it suitable for outdoor applications. PVC foam is not recommended for use with concentrated acids, ketones, esters, and some aromatic hydrocarbons.
