Foam Materials
Muhtasari
Foam materials are what graphic and product designers reach for when they need lightweight bulk: a rigid panel that is thick but barely weighs anything, or a block that can be carved into a smooth three-dimensional model in minutes. An exhibition sign mounted on foamboard, a presentation panel on an easel, a sculpted concept model of a new shampoo bottle, and the moulded packaging that cradles a television are all foam in action. Foam turns a small amount of solid polymer into a large, light, useful volume by trapping air inside it.
This note covers the graphic-products foam objectives: how foams are classified into open-cell and closed-cell, rigid and flexible; the stock forms (sheet, board, block) they are bought in; the properties of lightness, rigidity and easy shaping that make them useful; their environmental impact, which is the weak point of most foams; and the two named materials, foamboard and Styrofoam, with the modelling, mounting and packaging jobs each one does best.
Malengo
- demonstrate knowledge of foam materials and understand their classification, stock forms, properties, environmental impact and uses
- demonstrate knowledge of the following foam materials: - foamboard - Styrofoam.
