Layered foam... what foam and how thick?

Can anyone tell me what kind of foam in what thickness is used in layered foam bosses?
I've searched but can't seem to find a definitive answer.

I saw mention of Plastazote, but it's such expensive stuff I don't see how they could retail them for the prices I've seen.

Its plastazote. Looking at some of the butts we have recently bought I think they take whatever is going cheap at the foam suppliers. we have a couple of butts with 20mm thick foam layers in. ( general thickness is 3mm)

Thanks Martin, I saw both thos threads (and posted in one as you'll have seen) but for some reason I couldn't find them again. Mustn't have been looking hard enough.
It looks like it's going to be almost as cheap to buy one as to make one unless I can I can get my hands on a pallet load of suitable scrap somewhere local.

Jim, do you notice much/any difference when arrows hit a thicker layer?
