Les panneaux extrudés sont faits de polystyrène, de solvants et de gaz pressurisé. On note qu'avec le temps, les agents gonflants (HCFC rongeant moins la couche d'ozone que le CFC), le styrène et le chlorure d'éthylène, sont lentement libérés dans l'air ambiant.

Flexible polyurethane foam has been in existence since the mid-1950s. Because of its performance characteristics it has a wide variety of uses. ... It serves as cushioning in upholstered furniture and mattresses. It protects carpet by providing a resilient underlay. Automobile and airplane seats contain foam. Packaging and medical applications are also common. Flexible polyurethane foam is the product of an exothermic reaction that creates a resilient cellular matrix that can then be cut to size for its intended use. Since the late 1950’s, auxiliary blowing agents have been used in the manufacture of polyurethane foam. Two main characteristics of flexible foam are density and firmness (or softness). Auxiliary blowing agents help control both of these characteristics. By vaporizing at an appropriate temperature, the auxiliary blowing agent produces additional bubble growth and, thereby, reduces the density of the foam. 3, record 8, English, - flexible%20polyurethane%20foam
