Sumfoam
Category: Insulation - Heat/Frost
Description:

Sumfoam is an innovative polymer foam with a pore size of less than 100 nanometers.

Typical Use:

The material class has extraordinary insulating properties, which are used for example in building insulation and technical applications. It also offers high-performance solutions in oil absorption, filtration, lightweight construction, and as an additive or carrier material for the chemical process industry.

Apparent use of Nanotechnology: nanoporous acrylic copolymer
Reason for Inclusion:

“In the course of the expansion process, the volume increases by a factor of about 10 to 20, with the polymer developing a homogeneous and open structure with a pore size in the nanometer range.” -Retrieved 6/26/2023 from https://sumteq.de/en/technology/
