4 Ways In Which You Interact With Fabricated Foam Everyday And Don't Know It
Consumers have grown so accustomed to all of these various man-made products that they do not even recognize when they are interacting with said products. For example, can you think of any way in which you interacted with something rubber today? There is probably more than one way that you interacted with rubber today.
That is not the only industrial material with which you interact. You also interact with plastics, and with fabricated foam. Yes, fabricated foam; if you are certain that you have not interacted with foam today, here are some examples you may not have realized were foam.
1. Your Mattress
What was the first thing you did today? You rolled out of bed, right? Have you ever seen the insides of most mattresses, either in a factory as the mattresses are constructed, or out on a display floor? They are FULL of fabricated foam. The cheapest mattresses of all are nothing but foam!
2. Your Shoes
When you went to put on your shoes, you interacted with foam again. This time, the foam was part of the soles of your shoes. This is especially true if you wore tennis shoes, or if you wear orthopedic shoes for comfort. The foam under your feet is very comfortable, and it protects your feet from injury. Additionally, the foam acts as a shock absorber so that less strain is placed on your feet, and you end up with less pain at the end of your day.
3. Your Car
As you slid into your seat in your car, your back and buttocks were cradled in fabricated foam. Sure, you could not see it because of the leather or cloth covering the foam, but it was there. You can see foam in car seats that have split and peeled.
4. At Work
If you work in an office building, there is lots of fabricated foam! There is foam under the carpeting. There is foam in your desk chair. There are even tiny bits of fabricated foam inside your computer.
If your job is outside all day, you may encounter foam in the seats of construction vehicles. Foam exists as an insulation material for pipes and commercial walls. If you take a really good look around, you will spot foam cleverly disguised as something in use.
If your work is on tile floors stocking shelves in a store, you will encounter packing foam that immobilizes products during shipping. This foam is even made to fit and stabilize items inside boxes, such as laptops and flat-screen TVs. Foam is everywhere you go.
