PU Polyether Foam

Ideal for comfort products where air circulation and moisture regulation are important.

What is Polyether Foam?

Polyether foam is a versatile and comfortable polyurethane foam (PU) characterized by its open-cell structure and excellent ventilation properties. This type of foam is widely used in comfort products such as mattresses, cushions, and furniture, where air circulation and moisture regulation are important.

Properties of Polyether Foam

Polyether foam is known for its soft and resilient structure. Its open-cell configuration allows for efficient airflow, enabling heat and moisture to dissipate effectively. This makes it particularly suitable for applications where comfort and hygiene are paramount. Additionally, polyether foam is resistant to humid conditions but less suitable for environments involving oils or greases.

Key properties include:

Open-cell structure: Ensures excellent ventilation
Soft and comfortable: Ideal for prolonged use
Moisture-resistant: Suitable for humid applications
Cost-effective: Offers a favorable price-performance ratio
Lightweight: Easy to handle and process

Polyether foam is available in various densities and hardness levels, depending on the intended application. This adaptability makes it widely applicable and easy to tailor to specific requirements.

Advantages of Polyether Foam

Utilizing polyether foam offers several benefits. Its airy structure provides comfortable support and effective temperature regulation, which is especially important in sleeping and seating solutions. Moreover, polyether foam is easy to process, cut, and bond, reducing the production time of final products.

Furthermore, polyether foam boasts a long lifespan under normal use and resists aging caused by air and light exposure. This durability makes it a sustainable choice for comfort-focused applications.

Applications of PU-Polyether Foam

Resilience and Flexibility

What sets polyether foam apart is its combination of resilience and shape retention. These properties enable the foam to conform comfortably to body contours and return to its original shape after use. This is essential for long-term applications like mattresses, cushions, or medical supports, where both comfort and durability are required.The flexibility of polyether foam also makes it highly suitable for complex shapes and contours. It remains stable during movements and deformations without compromising support or form. This makes it ideal for ergonomically designed products that require consistent pressure distribution.

Custom Polyether Foam Solutions

Polyether foam can be easily cut and processed to custom specifications. Depending on the application, specific densities and shapes can be selected. Additionally, polyether foam can be bonded with other materials such as textiles or films, further expanding its range of applications.
