Markets
The most widely used foams are polyurethanes and expanded polystyrenes, followed at a distance by PVCs, then polyolefins and phenolics. All other products are specialties whose consumption is difficult to assess. The breakdown between cellular PUR and EPS depends on the region in question.
All consumption figures are only average estimates, and other values can be found in the technical-economic literature....
