What is Polyurethane (PU)?

Polyurethane (PU) foam is a highly adaptable polymer foam produced by reacting polyps and isocyanates. By adjusting is formulation, PU foam can be engineered to achieve a wide range of densities, firmness, and performance characteristics. These unique attributes make it suitable for cushioning, sealing, acoustic, and vibration-dampening applications.

The benefits of using Polyurethane Foam:

  • Easily die cut, routed, or laminated into custom shapes
  • Compatible with pressure-sensitive adhesives and multi-layer constructions
  • Cost-effective solution for cushioning and protective applications 
  • Excellent shock absorption and impact protection 
  • Good compression recovery and resilience over repeated use
  • Lightweight material that does not add unnecessary mass
