About Polymer Foam
Polymer foams can be manufactured in various ways such as slab stock, extrusion, and various forms of molding. Polymer foams are broadly classified as thermosets and thermoplastics, which are further segmented into flexible and rigid foams. Thermoplastics can be broken down and recycled, whereas thermosets are hard to recycle owing to their heavily crosslinked structure.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global polymer foam market to grow at a CAGR of 8.28% during the period 2017-2021.
