The mechanical properties at room temperature of two densities PVC foams have been experimentally evaluated in both quasi-static and dynamic compression loading conditions. The strain rate effect have been evaluated by comparing the constant strength during plateau region. Energy absorption efficiency of PVC foam is investigated, and it shows that in certain density range, the efficiency of lighter PVC foam is larger than that of heavier PVC foam, but the efficiency stress of lighter PVC foam is smaller than that of heavier PVC foam. While the lighter PVC foam has been compressed more than heavier PVC foam when they reach their peak efficiency. Therefore, for a certain density of PVC foam itself, when the loading rates increase, the PVC foam will absorb more energy more efficiently.
