Durability
Buoyancy
Odorless
Lightweight
Non-dusting
Non-abrasive
Cost/labor efficient

High load bearing capacity
CFC free
Ozone friendly
Sound absorption
Dimensional stability
Uniform cell structure
Shatter Proof
Tear/puncture-resistant
Impact/shock/vibration absorption
Excellent compressive creep properties
Bacteria/chemical/grease/mold/oil /solvent-resistant
