Hi George,
<frown> I've seen it in several places, before. Most usually
in equipment/shipping cases for heavy, *dense* objects (stereo
microscope, etc.) where the case doesn't want to be a lot larger
than the item itself.
OK. The "white stuff" I've seen has been more flexible -- but
probably because it was used in strips instead of sheets (i.e.,
imagine building a frame out of 2x2's of the stuff for a 24"
cube). In any case, it isn't intended to compress -- like
styrofoam isn't intended to compress (nor is the stuff I have).
[Hmmm... maybe I should start searching for "styrofoam" and
see if this is somehow related?]
I should also check with the techs at the local hospital and
see if they can point to a particular vendor that uses lots of
it (then, contact the vendor and hope for a helpful soul)
"Ice"? What's that?? :>
(Actually, we're having our first "below freezing" temps of the
year so all the citrus are under covers!)
Hmm OK I don't know what that is.

Here's a pic of me standing on the white foam.
It comes in all sorts of different hardness's and open or closed cells.

(Sorry I wore my boots today.. there's an ice storm on the way..
"Be prepared".)
