2. Polyurethane foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane_foam

   The so-called flexible polyurethane foam (FPF) is produced from the reaction of polyols and isocyanates, a process pioneered in 1937. [ 1 ] FPF allows for some compression and resilience that provides a cushioning effect. Because of this property, it is often used in furniture, bedding, automotive seating, athletic equipment, packaging ...

   Spray foam. Spray foam insulation extruding from a duct. Spray foam (expanding foam in the UK) is a chemical product created by a chemical reaction of two component parts, commonly referred to as side A and side B. [1] Side A contains very reactive chemicals known as isocyanate. Side B contains a polyol, which reacts with isocyanates to make ...

   Industrial Insulation. Rigid polyurethane foam is used in various industries to provide thermal insulation to installations and pipes. In particular, the piping for district heating systems in Europe is primarily insulated using a pre-insulated pipes sandwich assembly composed of a steel heat service pipe, an insulating layer (polyurethane foam) and a polyethylene (PE) casing, which are bonded ...

5. Memory foam - Wikipedia

   A memory foam mattress is usually denser than other foam mattresses, making it both more supportive and heavier. Memory foam mattresses are often sold for higher prices than traditional mattresses. Memory foam used in mattresses is commonly manufactured in densities ranging from less than 24kg/m 3 (1.5 lb/ft 3) to 128kg/m 3 (8 lb/ft 3) density

   Package cushioningis used to protect items during shipment. Vibrationand impact shockduring shipment and loading/unloading are controlled by cushioning to reduce the chance of product damage. Cushioning is usually inside a shipping containersuch as a corrugated box. It is designed to absorb shock by crushing and deforming, and to dampen ...

7. Reticulated foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulated_foam

   Robert A. Volz is credited with discovering the first process for making reticulated polyurethane foam in 1956 while working for the Scott Paper Company. [6] Production of reticulated polyurethane foam is a two-step process that begins with the creation of conventional (closed-cell) polyurethane foam, after which cell faces (or "windows") are removed.
