Unbiased Foam Specification
Off-the-shelf foams often force trade-offs between density, cure time, closed-cell content, and dimensional stability. We eliminate that compromise.
Formula Neutrality
We select systems based strictly on performance data, not supplier targets.
Tailored Reaction Kinetics
Cream, gel, and tack-free times are tuned for your processing method — pour, spray, or moulding.
Targeted Physicals
Optimise density vs. mechanical strength to minimise material usage while meeting engineering specs.

Foam Technology Comparison Matrix
Selecting the proper foam technology requires balancing density, cell morphology, compressive performance, and thermal resistance.
| Technology | Density Range | Cell Structure | Primary Function | Strength | Ideal Profile |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spray Polyurethane Foam | 10 – 60 kg/m³ | Open or Closed | Thermal Insulation | Low to Moderate | Building envelopes, cold storage, roofing insulation |
| Rigid Structural Foam | 60 – 500+ kg/m³ | High Closed (>90%) | Load Bearing & Void Fill | High to Extreme | Core materials, void filling, pipeline supports |
| Flexible & Microcellular | 30 – 250 kg/m³ | Open or Microcellular | Shock Absorption | Dynamic / Resilient | Seating, impact protection, gasketing |
| Elastomeric Moulded | 150 – 800 kg/m³ | Integral Skin | Wear & Environmental | High Toughness | Handles, marine floats, protective trims |
Foam Chemistry & Technology Breakdown
Technical detail on each foam category we formulate, test, and specify.
Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF)
Thermal InsulationKey Strengths: High thermal efficiency (R-value), continuous air sealing, rapid expansion and gelation.
Lab Evaluation: Thermal conductivity, dimensional stability at elevated temperatures, closed-cell percentage via gas pycnometry.
Best Suited For: Industrial tank insulation, commercial building envelopes, cold storage facilities, and pipe insulation.
Rigid Structural & Injection Foams
High StrengthKey Strengths: High compressive strength-to-weight ratio, extremely low water absorption, void-filling capacity.
Lab Evaluation: Compressive strength testing, water absorption immersion, closed-cell content, dimensional change under load.
Best Suited For: Sub-grade void filling, pipeline supports, marine buoyancy, and structural core materials.
Flexible & Microcellular Foams
Shock AbsorptionKey Strengths: Dynamic resilience, energy absorption, compression set resistance over repeated cycles.
Lab Evaluation: IFD (Indentation Force Deflection), compression set, resilience rebound, tear propagation.
Best Suited For: Seating components, impact protection systems, gasketing, and vibration damping.
Elastomeric Moulded Foam
Integral SkinKey Strengths: Tough outer skin with flexible cellular core, excellent environmental resistance and aesthetics.
Lab Evaluation: Integral skin thickness, flex fatigue, UV stability, and adhesion to in-mould coatings.
Best Suited For: Handles, protective trims, marine floats, and structural covers requiring durability and finish.
