Foam, honeycomb and composite core materials are plastics, ceramics or metals containing closed or open internal cells or pores for composites, tooling, modeling, insulation or floatation. Foam, honeycomb and composite core materials are constructed with a core material that is covered with a flexible skin. They are configured to handle particular stresses during use, such as the tension and compression on the skins and the shear on the core during bending.
Foam, honeycomb and composite core materials are made of different core types. Foam board or foam core board is one of the most common forms and can be made of synthetic polymers such as polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). A form core panel can be manufactured in a wide range of densities and thicknesses, depending on the application. Polyurethane foam is frequently used for thermal insulation and acoustic absorption applications. Foam rubber is also used for insulation applications and is manufactured by introducing air into a latex composite and curing the substance. Foam, honeycomb and composite core materials can also be made of polystyrene for decorative uses and other special thermoplastics that provide fire protection or resistance. Architectural foam used for decorative moldings and other interior treatments are often made of polystyrene.
