Comments on: What is that styrofoam-like stuff that’s harder and sort of clear? http://www.nrfoam.org/foam-packaging/what-is-that-styrofoam-like-stuff-thats-harder-and-sort-of-clear/ Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:13:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Diane B. http://www.nrfoam.org/foam-packaging/what-is-that-styrofoam-like-stuff-thats-harder-and-sort-of-clear/#comment-1557 Diane B.

Usually it is the "expanded polystyrene foam" that's used in packaging for large/heavy electronics, and there is an "extruded" version which is denser, stronger and heavier (that can be purchased in thick sheets at home improvement or hardware stores). But I don't know of a *foam* that's actually translucent or transparent ...at least nothing's coming to mind. P.S. If you said exactly what kind of material you need and what it is you're making (and its size/shape), someone may have a good idea of what you could use.
