Polyurethane foam is one of the most unique, versatile, and diverse thermoset cellular plastics. Developed in the late 1930s, this plastic is mainly composed from the reaction between hydroxyl functionalities (polyol) and isocyanates (TDI, MDI, or aliphatic). The relative ratio of these fundamental components determine the polymeric backbone morphology and ultimately the physical properties of the resultant matrix. While we can tailor the properties of the foam’s 3D structure, we can also efficiently incorporate active ingredients during the foaming process to offer controlled release from the foam such as antimicrobial, pharmaceutical, flame-retardant, enzyme, and other value adds.
Our history in polyurethane foams dates back to its inception in the early 1950s. Over the last 60 years, we have honed our craft to tailor a vast array of cellular foams such as polyurethane, polyolefin, polyamide, and biobased cellular structures. Tell us what you need, and together, we will design a foam to suit your specific purpose. Lets dream together.
