20PPI Reticulated Polyurethane Foam

There are countless reasons for using Reticulated Foams - with 20ppi offering versatility, open-cell and  light weight structure, low odor and highly resistant to mold and mildew.    This high quality material is made using polyurethane foam available  with a flame retardant additive to conform to FMVSS302 standards, combining  excellent chemical and fuel resistance,  good elongation and tear strength properties making it suitable for a number of industries and applications. Due to the cellular nature of 20PPI Retic foam, when compressed the material, gains a new range of properties, altering its breathability, porosity, the rate at which liquids and air can pass through and also the amount of waste, dust and debris that is caught.  20ppi has a a net like structure which acts as a sieve, therefore unlike other grades of PU foam, it will not absorb water and will dry quickly making it last long, reusable and suitable for wet applications such as boat seating and aquarium filtration (marine safe only).  Reticulated foams are available in two types, Polyether and more readily available from ASG - Polyester.  This Polyester reticulated foam can also be manufactured as an FR grade using a  flame retardant additive to confirm to FMVSS302 standards - this makes the material ideal for use in a range of demanding applications and environments.

Reticulated Pu foams are not only available in different densities, pore sizes and colours - it can also be manufactured in most shapes and profiles including die-cut parts, egg-box profiles and even glued or welded tubes and cylinders.  Reticulated filter foams are foams are resistant to mild acids and alkali's, salt water, fuel, organic chemicals, oils, lubricants, soaps and detergents therefore applications which often which utilize 20ppI Reticulated foam components include  filtration for liquids and air such as within small lawnmower engines and vacuum cleaners, sound absorption where it doesn't need to necessarily block noise, but absorb and manage the actual sound waves for example with aircrafts, industrial equipment and household appliances, fluid management in cosmetic and medical applications and as a cleaning product for scrubbing and wiping.
