Automotive foam is a growing market owing to
increasing demand for vehicles and the evolution of the technology used in the
design and application of the foam material. Automotive foam is essentially a
polymer formed through combination of solid and gaseous phase materials
immersed through air bubbles or air tunnels which decides its cell structure,
whether open or closed. Open cell foams are used when there is a need for
flexibility and closed cell foams are used for when there is a need for
rigidity. The gas involved in the making of the automotive foam can be either
chemical or physical in nature and is termed as the blowing agent. Physical
blowing agents are not involved in the chemical reaction while chemical blowing
agents react to release chemicals for the formation of the foam. Polymer foams
can be produced through extrusion, slab-stock, pouring and different types of
moulding. There are various types of polymer foams including polyurethane,
biodegradable foams, starch foams and many others. Polymer foams have several
application areas including but not limited to -automotive, packaging, building
& construction, furniture & bedding and many others. The primary
methods of manufacturing automotive foams are moulding and slab stock.
