Here is what you need to know when shopping for Polyurethane foam.

What is Open cell Polyurethane Foam?

Polyurethane foam is an open cell foam. This means that the cells which make up the foam compound are never completely closed. This allows air or water into the space, depending on what you are using it for. Polyurethane is long-lasting, hard wearing, and can be easily compressed which makes distribution simpler.

Open cell Polyurethane Foam:

  • Has a temperature prevail of -40oc to 100oc
  • Has a density of 8.3 pounds per cubic foot standard, but comes in different densities as ordered
  • Has a compressive strength of 295 to 325 psi
  • Makes great insulation in vacuum spaces
  • Available in grey or white from RH Nuttal Ltd

What are the Uses of Polyurethane Foam

Due to the open cell structure of polyurethane foam it makes it a superb choice of material for different types of application. This includes fluid absorption due to the porous nature of the material. This means you may use it in fish tanks, for water filters, to create dust proof seals, and even in the making of insulation.

You might find Polyurethane foam in products such as:

  • Cushions and cushioning
  • Bedding
  • Furniture
  • Inside your car
  • Underneath your carpet as underlay
  • On the bottom of rugs
  • In your shoes!

Other uses of RH Nuttall’s high grade polyurethane foam include packaging, dustproof seals, duct seals and acoustic insulation. The lack of heat transference makes it ideal as a material used for building insulation. This means that it keeps the heat in and the cold out, and vice versa in summer.
