Reticulated Polyurethane Foam

Reticulated polyurethane foam is versatile, light weight foam having low odour and offering high resistance to mildew. It is used in the making of products that are used in filtration, sound absorption, fluid management, wiping and padding.

This family of materials feature high tensile, tear and elongation characteristics and including liquid delivery component in medical devices, sound absorption components in automobiles, cosmetic applicators, air conditioner filters and sponges.

Reticulated polyurethane has high resistance to chemicals that makes it an ideal material for filtration applications. The cells that make up the foam can have a number of variations, which can also be precisely controlled. Different foams have varying cell structures and characteristics, but foams from the same material family can also be made with vastly different density and firmness specifications that can greatly impact their performance.

Reticulated foam is available in two primary types - polyether and polyester and in a range of different densities and colours. Fine porosity reticulated foam is used in variety of applications including Sound absorber, Microphones, Wiping pads and applicators, windscreens, Filters, Face masks, etc.

With its homogeneous and uniform cell structure, a reticulated foam filter can be engineered for pressure drop and filtering efficiency by changing its pore size. Reticulated foam is effective as a sound attenuator, scrubber and washable filtration media for air conditioners, furnaces, small engines and automobile air cleaners, plus many other applications.

When reticulated foam is compressed, the material acquires a new set of properties ideal for applications that require uniform porosity, non-directional characteristics, high void volumes, breathability and uniform texture. Reticulated foam is also sometimes compressed and used for creating ink rollers, blood filters, and other products requiring absorption properties.
