APAC Leads Polymer Foam Market: Analyzed & 2018 Forecasts in New Research Report at RnRMarketResearch.com
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- Polymer foam materials are recyclable, lightweight and have better processability. Polymer foams are generally available as open or closed cell structured foams. The cell structures decide the physical nature of foams and is chosen depending on the end-use application. Foams are adaptable to a wide range of temperatures and are available in various levels of hardness. The aforementioned reasons make foams suitable for many applications that demand resistance to extreme temperatures. The performances of foams reinforce their market amongst materials that have been conventionally used, which are now being replaced by polymer foams.
The polymer foam manufacturing industry focuses to develop new polymer blends and foaming agents. Efforts are being taken to develop an environmentally friendly foam process, which would also render the most efficient products and cost-optimized manufacturing process. This market is also concerned about the issues in waste disposal, recyclability, flammability and the effect of blowing agents on the environment. Regulations on the use of certain hazardous blowing agents used in making polymer foams pose as a key challenge for manufacturers in various parts of the world.
