Performance Thermal Insulation Materials and Panels and OEM Components from APM

As the economy grows, people are becoming alarmed about the increased rate of deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions, and the demand for lightweight materials and sustainable alternatives to wood, aluminum, copper, concrete, polystyrene, polypropylene, and others has increased significantly. One of these promising eco-friendly alternatives is PVC foam boards/sheets. But what exactly is PVC foam? PVC foam is a lightweight, rigid form of expanded polyvinyl chloride (PVC). [...]

Performance Acoustic Insulation and Sound Absorption Materials and Components from APM

Reducing the amount of sound that reflects off surfaces. These materials help in minimizing echo and reverberation, making a space quieter. Highly porous materials, like mineral wool or acoustic foam, are effective at absorbing sound. Materials like mineral wool, fiberglass, and acoustic foam absorb sound waves. These materials have a porous structure that allows sound waves to enter, where they are then dissipated as heat energy. Sound absorption mechanisms work by reducing the amount of sound that is reflected off surfaces and converting sound energy into other forms of energy, primarily heat[...].

Performance Recycled PET Foam Core Based Composite Panels and Components from APM

Have you heard about PET foam sheets and boards? Yes, that’s right; the same material used in PET plastic bottles are potential eco-friendly alternatives to wood, aluminum, copper, concrete materials, and other non-sustainable materials like polystyrene, PU foams, etc. But what exactly is PET foam? PET foam is a lightweight, rigid foam based on its primary polymeric material, polyethylene-teraphatlate (PET)., [...]
