You are looking for polypropylene foam. Usually molded

A place like this may have what you want.

Nope. Again, that's more homogenous than the black
stuff.

There are all sorts of foams ranging from soft and
springy to stiff
and "plastic". But, every one is a uniform texture
throughout,
doesn't have the rubbery feel, flexible, "styrofoam
looking", etc.

Trust me, I've done a *lot* of looking -- in stores,
google images,
etc. It's frustrating to have so many examples of it in
my
personal possession and *not* be able to find even a
*name* for the
stuff!

The name is polypro, molded, not extruded. BASF and a few
others make
such a product. As I said, it is an industrial foam that
you wont
find in retail stores.

BTW. that styrofoam looking stuff isn't. Styrofoam is the
trademarked
name of an extruded eps foam and what you are looking for
is a molded
foam with a bead structure similar to expanded polystyrene
foam.

But what do I know, I've only been in the molded foam
business for 45
years.
