A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Engineered
Foam
Market. The
study, titled “Engineered
Foam Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends
and Forecast 2016 - 2024”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Engineered
foam is used in various applications such as insulation materials,
packaging, wind energy, and cushioning of furniture. In engineered
foam, solid and gas phases are combined at fast rate to give a
resulting mixture that has a polymer matrix with bubbles or air
channels incorporated in it. The gas, which is mixed with the foam,
is called the blowing agent. It can be either chemical or physical.
Physical blowing agents are those gases that do not take place in the
chemical reaction and are inert to the polymer forming the matrix.

Chemical
blowing agents are those that take part in a reaction, giving off
chemicals in the process. In all the foam structures, the pore size
is not uniform with some amount of closed cells. The amount of pores
present in the foam affects the properties of the foam. The presence
of high quantity of smaller pores makes the foam an insulator. Open
cell structure has the capability of compression and better sound
absorption. Various techniques are used to manufacture engineered
foams. These include initiation of a chemical reaction that generates
the gas phase; usage of a chemical blowing agent, which takes part in
the chemical reaction and forms the gas phase; and introduction of
the physical blowing agent at high temperature.
The
global market for engineered foam can be segmented based on the type
of polymer used into polyurethane (PUR), polystyrene (PS),
polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP). Polyurethane is
synthesized by the reaction between polyols and polyisocynates. Rigid
PUR foam is employed in various applications in refrigerators,
insulated buildings, water heaters, and thermosets. Flexible PUR is
used in cushioning in furniture, packaging, and transportation.

Flexible
PUR is also employed in cars for sound insulation and vibration
dampening. Polystyrene foam is extensively used for making white
polystyrene cups, which are ideal for serving hot beverages, due to
heat insulating properties of foam. The engineered foam market can
also be segregated based on structure into rigid and flexible
structure. Rigid engineered foams are used for structural
applications, while flexible engineered foams are used for packaging
and cushioning applications. The engineered foam market can also
divided in terms of end-user application into automotive, wind
turbines, packaging, manufacturing, and construction industries.
In
terms of region, the engineered foam market can be segregated into
North America, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East &
Africa. The global engineered foam market is anticipated to expand
significantly during the forecast period. Asia Pacific is expected to
dominate the market for engineered foam due to significant growth of
the automotive industry in emerging economies such as China and
India. Rise in demand for lightweight structures in the building &
construction industry is anticipated to boost the market for
engineered foam in the region. The engineered foam market in North
America and Europe is also estimated to expand, led by the presence
of large number of automobile manufactures in these regions.
Key
players operating in the engineered foam market are BASF SE, The DOW
Chemical Company, Skisui Chemical Company Co. Ltd., Bayer AG,
Armacell, Jiffy Packaging Company Limited, American Foam Products,
Rempec Foam Corporation, Heubach Corporation, and G&T Industries
Inc.
Armacell,
a leading provider of engineered foams, operates in Europe, North
America, Asia, and Middle East. It offers a wide product portfolio,
which includes polystyrene foam, polyurethane foam, and polyethylene
foam.
