Why is the optical foam so expensive

Because it uses expensive materials, there are the following kinds of optical foam

One, EVA foam: resin is characterized by good softness, rubber-like elasticity, this foam in -50 ℃ can still have good flexibility, transparency and good surface gloss, good chemical stability, good aging and ozone strength, non-toxic. Good mixing with filler, coloring and molding processability.

Two, EPE, also known as pearl cotton: polyethylene foam cotton is non-crosslinked closed-cell structure, is a new environmentally friendly foam packaging materials. With waterproof moisture, shockproof, sound insulation, thermal insulation, good plasticity, toughness, recycling, environmental protection, strong resistance to impact and many other advantages, but also has good chemical resistance. Widely used in electronic and electrical appliances, instruments, computers, audio, medical equipment, industrial control chassis, lighting, handicrafts, glass, ceramics, home appliances, spraying, furniture, alcohol and gift packaging, hardware, toys, fruits and vegetables, shoes packaging, daily necessities, and other products packaging. After adding anti-static agent and flame retardant, it shows its excellent performance.

Three, sponge: is a porous foam material, has good water absorption, can be used for cleaning items. Foaming resin, foaming additives and adhesive resin (so that the finished product has adhesive properties) mixed together; sponge are mainly: industrial sponge: foam cotton, stereotyped cotton, rubberized cotton, memory cotton and so on. Chemical sponge, polyurethane soft foam rubber. Characteristics of the sponge: in the selection of sponge, mainly to its touch and elasticity as the primary factor in determining. It should have a soft touch and be malleable.

Four, aluminum foil foam: is the use of flexible pure aluminum foil and glass fiber composite made of aluminum foil cloth instead of conductive cloth wrapped in flame retardant foam. Surface impedance ≤ 0.016Ω, with excellent shielding properties of the metal, its temperature resistance up to 130 ℃, lower cost, can meet the product cost pressure needs.

Fifth, CR foam: is a general-purpose special rubber, with the good physical properties of general rubber, this foam also has a flame-resistant, oil-resistant, chemical corrosion-resistant and other excellent characteristics, so that it is in a variety of synthetic rubber occupies an important position.

Six, EPP: polypropylene plastic foam foam material is a high crystalline polymer/gas composite materials with excellent performance, with its unique EPP foam, EPP applications are becoming more and more widespread. IT products, electronic communications equipment, LCD monitors, plasma color TVs, precision electronic components, precision instrumentation, and so on have begun to use a large number of EPP as a packaging material. Special and superior performance has become the fastest growing environmentally friendly new pressure cushioning and insulation materials.
