So far, People in the plastics industry all know that the plastic foam is applied to the vast extent of noise and thermal insulation, surface materials, seals and buffers. The thickness of the rigid foam board for 1-5 mm range, compared to traditional materials, including injection molded hard plastic, the weight is lighter.

Swiss manufacturer of polyolefin foams used in the automotive industry, has introduced a rigid foam board. The plastic plate is made of closed-cell PP foam density of 200-600/m3.

This rigid foam panels can be used instead of the surface area of the larger components, such as hard plastic cover, but also can be used as the outer layer composite component use.

Produced standard size plastic plate is divided into two types. This material also has many potential applications: tire liner could protect the body form road debris scratching by blinding to the appropriate fabric or aluminum foil covering, can interior become surface coverings. As a result, rigid foam board could be as one alternative for the manufacture of deep drawing.

Rigid foam board in the plastics industry gradually could show its excellent features, and such rigid foam board heat resistance is up to 140℃, which is completely recyclable after vacuum foaming. Then, rigid foam board could be used as laminated cover substrate.

EPS foam can also be hard to decompose. So rigid plastic foam recycling is very important or there will have heavy pollution on the environment. People must pay attention to waste foam recycling no matter what happed and what have changed to take social responsibility.
