It is no exaggeration to say that top foam manufacturers are quite rightly regarded as in possession of skills that are equivalent to those of the best scientific practitioners. Yet the process of foam conversion should also be understood as a kind of cutting edge art, drawing on significant powers of vision and creativity.
For a start, foam manufacturers have an in-depth knowledge of the choice of different chemical polymers which can be used to make foam with very specific characteristics – some for example being more appropriate for aquatic use while others may be more suitable for, say, outdoor applications.
More significantly, the ways in which a particular polymer is converted into foam can be extremely varied. These conversion techniques draw on a highly mixed palette, including different types of inflating mechanism (known as ‘blowing agents’); various catalytic and inhibiting chemicals; and additives such as fire retardants.
The result is that a vast continuum of foams can be manufactured ranging from soft and spongy to rigid and strong; from very light to heavily dense; and from those which allow air and liquid to pass through freely and those which consist of highly protective, hermetically sealed cells.
The best foam manufacturers will be able to draw on this vast palette and produce an inspired solution for any proposition or challenge from a business customer. From medical treatments through to life-saving flotation devices, there are many successful foam products which have come about as the result of a mere idea or wish pushed through to realisation via the scientific and creative application of foam manufacturers.
What is more, despite drawing on a vast array of chemicals during production, the end product is itself always chemically inert and completely safe.
At Technical Foam Services we always leap at the chance of researching a particular foam requirement from our customers, and have many previous success stories to share.
