Polyurethane Foams

Polyeurthane foams are a big part of Cellular Mouldings. We can offer a range of foam systems that allow differing densities, hardnesses and mechanical or physical properties, depending on your requirements. 

What is it?

Joined together by urethane links or in other terms carbamate links, it is a polymer in which its constructions are organic units. Most polyeruthanes (which do not melt) are mainly thermosetting polymers. They are mainly formed through reacting a polylol and an isocyanate (there are two different types of isocyanate; diisocyanate and polyisocyanate). Both of these components are used to create polyeruthane. Polyeruthane made products can also be known simply as urethanes. Ethyl carbamate is another well known terminology which is linked in with the term urethane but should not be mixed up between the two. They are low in density and are insulation type grade foams. When they are in the process of being produced they enter high volumes at densities approximately 1.8 and 6 lbs. The foams are processed into large blocks, undergone either a batch series or a continuous extrusion. Afterwards, the blocks are cut into sheets or into the desired shape(s). 

Why do we use it?

Polyurethane foams are an incredibly versatile and lightweight group of materials that can be processed and moulded into shapes to suit almost any application. It used for a variety of consumer and commercial products. Examples of areas in which it is used for are; bedding, furniture as well as in the automative industry. What is really good about it is the fact it is a flexible foam that can be created in almost all sorts of shapes and sizes alongside how its durable and very firm.
