Foams

Polyurethan soft foams

Precisely defined proportions of the liquid basic raw materials polyalcohols and polyisocyanate are used to produce polyurethane (PUR) soft foams. Both materials are derivatives of petroleum and natural gas. In the presence of a propellant (CO2 from the isocyanate-water reaction), and with the utilisation of catalysts, stabilisers and other materials, they react to form a wide range of foams.

The use of propellants based on halogenated hydrocarbons such as CFCs and methylene chloride has been banned in Germany since 01.01.1992.

We can select the most varied of foams from a wide range in order to ensure that your products are also well protected under extreme transport conditions. We can thus develop the optimum insert or packaging for your products.

Polyether Foams

The individual qualities of polyether foams sometimes differ very greatly. The characteristic properties of polyether foams have been determined by a variety of tests in line with national and international standards.

These are basically the varying properties of polyether foams:

  • bulk density,
  • compression hardness,
  • indentation hardness
  • rebound elasticity,
  • compression set,
  • tensile strength,
  • permanent vibration endurance,
  • fire behaviour, and
  • open cell nature.
