Structural foams are thermoplastic products that have a cellular foamed core with a solid skin surrounding the core. It is generally developed through a form of injection molding (structural foam molding) process using a chemical blowing agent or inert gas such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide.

While structural foam molding usually employs a low pressure process with injection pressure, generally ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 PSI, high pressure injection is also used to mold structural foams. The major input materials used for manufacturing structural foam are polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, and polyurethane among others.

Structural foam is significantly lighter than solid plastic products, having a high strength-to-weight ratio and low-cost tooling.
With respect to materials used for the production of structural foam, polyethylene dominated the structural foams market by occupying a share of 49.7% in 2014. Polypropylene is second major thermoplastic used for the manufacture of structural foam and is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. Other important materials used are polystyrene and polyurethane. These materials are also expected to grow at a considerable rate in the future.
