● Aluminum foam is an engineering material with the properties of metal and air bubbles
● Lightweright building material
● It can be applied to building wall cladding,floors,elevator cushions,sound insulation walls,theaters,concert.
Description
Aluminum foam is an engineering material with the properties of metal and air bubbles. The foamed aluminum can be used as a flat building board, because the main characteristic of foam aluminum is to realize the lightweight of the material under certain strength requirements, and has functions such as sound insulation and noise reduction, explosion-proof and impact resistance.

Depending on the manufacturing process, aluminum foam can deliver different levels of texture, transparency, brightness, and opacity, giving more or less visibility to the cells which compose the appearance of the product.For architecture, aluminum foam is produced in panels ranging in various densities, and in thicknesses from 12.7mm to 43.2 mm.
