  3. Conservation and restoration of taxidermy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

    The conservation of taxidermy is the ongoing maintenance and preservation of zoological specimens that have been mounted or stuffed for display and study. Taxidermy specimens contain a variety of organic materials, such as fur, bone, feathers, skin, and wood, as well as inorganic materials, such as burlap, glass, and foam.

  4. Polystyrene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polystyrene

    Grey polystyrene foam, incorporating graphite, has superior insulation properties. [45] Carl Munters and John Gudbrand Tandberg of Sweden received a US patent for polystyrene foam as an insulation product in 1935 (USA patent number 2,023,204). [46] PS foams also exhibit good damping properties, therefore it is used widely in packaging.

  5. Expanded polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_polyethylene

    EPE foams are low density, semi-rigid, closed cell foam that are generally somewhere in stiffness/compliance between Expanded polystyrene and Polyurethane. Production of EPE foams is similar to that of expanded polystyrene, but starting with PE beads. [1] Typical densities are 29 to 120 kg/m 3 (49 to 202 lb/cu yd) with the lower figure being ...

    Styrofoam insulation extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), owned and manufactured by DuPont. Styrofoam is a genericized trademarked brand of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), manufactured to provide continuous building insulation board used in walls, roofs, and foundations as thermal insulation and as a water barrier.

  7. Full-mold casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-mold_casting

    Full-mold casting is an evaporative-pattern casting process which is a combination of sand casting and lost-foam casting. It uses an expanded polystyrene foam pattern which is then surrounded by sand, much like sand casting. The metal is then poured directly into the mold, which vaporizes the foam upon contact. Full-mold casting

  8. Evaporative-pattern casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative-pattern_casting

    The first patent for an evaporative-pattern casting process was filed in April 1956, by Harold F. Shroyer. He patented the use of foam patterns embedded in traditional green sand for metal casting. In his patent, a pattern was machined from a block of expanded polystyrene (EPS), and supported by bonded sand during pouring. This process is now ...

  9. Direct injection expanded foam molding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_injection_expanded...

    Direct injection expanded foam molding (also known as injection molded foam) is a manufacturing process that creates soft foam products direct from a compound into a final product. [1] This process eliminates the steps normally required for die-cutting and compression molding , because it manufactures the foam and the product, simultaneously.
