$fractionation.Solid foams Solid foams form an important class of lightweight cellular engineering materials. These foams can be classified into two types based on their pore structure: open cell structured foams (also known as reticulated foams) and closed cell foams. Open cell structured foams contain pores that are connected to each other and form an interconnected network which is relatively soft. Open cell foams will fill with whatever they are surrounded with. If filled with air this could be a relatively good insulator, but if the open cells fill with water, insulation properties would be reduced. Foam rubber is a type of open cell foam. Closed cell foams do not have interconnected pores. Normally the closed cell foams have higher compressive strength due to their structures. However, closed cell foams are also generally denser, require more material, and consequentially are more expensive to produce. The closed cells can be filled with a specialized gas to provide improved insulation. The closed cell$ $arm rests, baby seats, shoe soles, and mattresses. The closed mold process, more commonly known as reaction injection molding (RIM), injects the mixed components into a closed mold under high pressures.Ballistic foam is a foam that sets hard. It is widely used in the manufacture and repair of aircraft to form a light but strong filler for aircraft wings. The foam is used to surround aircraft fuel tanks to reduce the chance of fires caused by the penetration of incendiary projectiles.A metal foam is a cellular structure consisting of a solid metal, frequently aluminium, containing a large volume fraction of gas-filled pores. The pores can be sealed (closed-cell foam), or they can form an interconnected network (open-cell foam). The defining characteristic of metal foams is a very high porosity: typically 75-95% of the volume consists of void spaces. The strength of foamed metal possesses a power law relationship to its density; i.e., a 20% dense material is more than twice as strong as a 10% dense material.$

Quick Dry Foams

Quick Dry Foam (QDF) is a reticulated polyurethane foam with extra open cells which permit maximum water drainage and air circulation.
It also has the added benefit of an antimicrobial treatment to help prevent the build up of bacteria which can cause nasty odours.
It is ideal for use in outdoor furniture and marine environments where moisture can be a problem with conventional foam.
It can also be used to filter water. QDF can be cut and shaped like normal foam.
Density : 30- 32 Kg / M3
Hardness : 120 – 140 N
Cell Count : < 25 ppi
Elongation : > 200%
Oprt Temp : (-14C to 140 C)
Treated with UreGard antimicrobial formula

ADVANTAGES OF RETICULATED FOAM

Unlike Non-Reticulated normal foam, reticulated foam has large, open pores

which permit maximum water drainage and air circulation, allowing use quickly

after being wet or even saturated.

Outdoor furniture

Quick Dry Foam inserted cushions offer the best of both long lasting wear and

comfort combined with extremely quickly drying properties. This is why URECEL

Quick Dry Foam is the perfect solution for outdoor furniture soft furnishing

material. Quick Dry Foam inserted cushions can be shaped the same as

conventional foam.

Hotels & Resorts

No more hassle of removing cushions from rain! Now everyone can enjoy

hygienic and dry comfort at all times without high maintenance.

Boats Interior & Exterior

Due to enhancement of strength and durability for long term exposure to

inclement weather, it is the most ideal solution for boats and yachts exterior

and interior soft furnishing compared to any other materials.
