Foam, honeycomb and core materials are plastics, ceramics or metals containing closed or open internal cells or pores for composites, tooling, modeling, insulation or floatation.
Foams and foam materials are industrial products made from low density elastomers, plastics, and other materials with various structures and porosities.
Molding compounds and resins are industrial plastics and polymers that are suitable for forming. They are available as pellets, liquids, and powders and are used in processes such as injection molding, compression molding, reaction injection molding (RIM), resin transfer molding (RTM), and blow molding.
Polymers and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials or stock shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms.
Thermoplastics and thermoplastic materials soften when heated and harden when cooled. They can withstand many heating and cooling cycles and are often suitable for recycling.
