1INTRODUCTION

Themarketforfoammaterialhasbeengrowingrapidlythroughouttheworld.Foamscanbecategorizedinto

twomajortypes,namelyflexiblefoamsandrigidfoams.Theflexiblefoamsaremainlyusedinfurniture,transportation,bedding,carpetunderlay,packaging,toys,sportsapplicationandshoes,aswellasforvibrationandsoundattenuation.Therigidfoamsareusuallyusedinbuildingappliances,insulationagents,pipes,tanks,floatationandfoodanddrinkcontainers

[1].Thereasonwhyfoamsareusedeverywherecanbesummarizedasfollows:

1.Foamisveryinexpensive.

2.Foamissuitableforuseindoorsoroutdoors.

3.Foamcanbecoatedwithmanydifferentproductstoachieveanydesired.finish.

4.Foamislightweightforeasyhandlingandinstallation.

Theproductionoffoamscantakeplaceusingmanydifferenttechniques.Themostcommonmethodtoproducecontinuousfoamslabisbypouringmixedingredientsofpetrochemicalagentsthatincludetoluenedi-isocyanate,polyolandwater.Theseingredientsarelefttoriseandcure.Additivesareblendedinforspecific.characteristicssuchascolors,absorbingcapacity,effectsonultravioletandothers.
