About Rigid Foams
Rigid foams are highly cross-linked, closed cell, cellular, thermoset plastic of low density. They possess excellent insulating properties due to the low thermal conductivity of the blowing agents contained in the cells. Rigid foam is a type of polymer foam, which can be broadly classified under thermosets and thermoplastics. It is used in a broad range of applications such as building and construction, appliances, and packaging.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global rigid foams market to grow at a CAGR of 6.13% during the period 2017-2021.
