Flexible Foam

About

A wide range of flexible open cell foams with interconnected air cells. The open cell structure of these flexible foams contributes to them being softer and more elastic than semi-flexible closed cell foams. In flexible open cell polyurethane foams the pores, or cells of air are not completely closed, but run into each other. This means that air or water can pass through the foam at varying rates, depending upon the size of the cells and the openness of the adjoining cell walls. The best foam choice for your application Choose from economical, low density foams through to premium quality, high density, and high elasticity foams. We also offer a range of hardnesses according to the foam grade specification. Soft foams can range through low to high density; for example, memory foam can be both extremely soft and very high density. Firm foams, on the other hand, are generally higher in density, as a firm feel cannot usually be achieved with low foam density. For more information on Density and Hardness Properties see here . Foam cell pores to suit The open cells, or "pores" in this range of foams can vary considerably in size. Reticulated air and water filter foams are available in hole sizes ranging from 15 - 80 holes per square inch of surface area. These foams have been treated so as to break the joining cell walls, making the products porous, to allow for the passage of air or water. That's why reticulated foams are ideal for air and water filters, and for outdoor and wet weather use! Where air and water flow are less important, you should opt for a conventional (non-reticulated) foam with smaller pores. Jack of all trades Open cell polyurethane foams are used world-wide in applications as diverse as; industrial and commercial foam applications for concrete curing, pipe cleaning and pipe lagging, impact absorption and vibration damping, protection and packaging, and for acoustic sound attenuation. Commercially, and for home use, flexible polyurethane foams are also
