Metal Foam - Lightweight & Excellent Thermal Insulation

Metal foam is a special type of metallic material with numerous pores. Thanks to its unique structural characteristics, it features low density, excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, and ability to absorb electromagnetic waves. As a result, it is widely used in aerospace, petrochemicals, manufacturing purification and filtration systems, catalytic supports, and electrodes.

Nickel Foam

Nickel foam is a high-performance sound-absorbing material with a high sound absorption coefficient at high frequencies. Its low frequency sound absorption performance can be enhanced through sound absorption structural design. Nickel foam is also one of the optimal electrode materials for manufacturing cadmium-nickel and nickel-hydrogen batteries.

Copper Foam

Copper foam is a new multifunctional material characterized by a copper matrix uniformly distributed with a large number of interconnected or non-interconnected pores. It exhibits good electrical conductivity and ductility, and its manufacturing cost is lower than nickel foam. Due to its superior electrical conductivity, it can be used in the preparation of battery cathode (carrier) materials, catalyst supports, and EMI shielding material.
