Antimicrobial fabric, what is it? What’s it made of? Why is it effective? What do you need to know about this specialty fabric and why is it great for use in so many products? First, let’s define what antimicrobial means. The term ‘antimicrobial’ is defined as: “destroying or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, and especially [...]
WARNING: All polyurethane foams including “FR” types will burn. Do not expose to any flame source. Once ignited, they can produce rapid flame spread, intense heat, dense smoke and toxic gases causing death. Warnings should be given to your employees and customers. Test data does not necessarily reflect a foam’s performance under actual fire conditions. Properties [...]
If you were to tell a stranger that foam has density, weight, and firmness characteristics, he or she would likely understand, given how common the terms are. However, one of the most confusing things about foam is the relationship between these characteristics. On the surface, it would seem the density or weight of a material [...]
Visco Elastic Foam Visco elastic foam is a polymer created during a chemical reaction between polyol and diisocyanate (two chemicals created from organic compounds). The ratio of polyol to diisocyanate is 2:1 to form polyurethane, though there may be other compounds that are added to create just the right amount of elasticity and density for [...]
SPECIALTY FOAMS There are many foam materials that are manufactured to solve very specific problems. Ranging from conductive foams used for packaging electronic devices to control static, hydrophilic foams to absorb ink in a printer, and breathable foams to provide comfort to a patient after surgery, all of these problems are solved by UFP's experience [...]

Closed-Cell Cross-Linked Polyethylene Foam Cross-linked polyethylene foam (also known as XLPE) is a closed-cell foam characterized by a compact feel and resistance to water. It has many of the same properties as polyethylene foam but also has the ability to protect Class "A" surfaces and is consequently used extensively in the packaging of medical products and [...]
