Reticulated Open Cell Foam

With an open cell structure and three dimensional skeletal strand structure.

Reticulated open cell foam.

There are few if any intact bubbles or cell windows. This foam is dark charcoal. Filter foam also known as reticulated foam is a porous low density reticulated flexible polyester polyether urethane foam. Reticulated foam is a very porous low density solid foam.

Reticulated foams are extremely open foams i e. 10ppi 60ppi reticulated open cell polyether based polyurethane foam. It is also used as speaker foam due to the high air flow its structure allows. Polyester foam is a flexible open cell type of polyurethane foam that is porous and has a uniform cell structure.

Filter foam is a porous low density reticulated flexible polyester polyether urethane sponge. Filter foam also named reticulation foam blasting foam. This foam has 100 open cells made by thermal reticulation process the foam blocks are placed inside high pressure reticulation chamber for charging with gas to convert it in different ppi pores per linear inch depending upn the customer needs. Reticulated foam open pores allowing maximum water drainage and air circulation quick drying foam ideal in the marine environment for seating mattresses and deck mattresses its open cellular structure allows water to pass through freely.

Characterized by a skeletal structure of strands which provide a constant 97 percent void space and a very high degree of permeability. Reticulated cell walls are removed to increase the porosity of the foam the porosity of foam listed in ppi pores per inch 20 30 ppi are ether based all others are ester based for filters only. Available in pore size grades from 15ppi through 100ppi in sheets or roll form. In a reticulated foam only the lineal boundaries.

Foam is usually classified as open cell when more than half of its cells are open. In contrast the foam formed by soap bubbles is composed solely of intact fully enclosed bubbles. All foam products company offers a variety of open cell and closed cell foams that are made in the u s a. With an open cell structure and three dimensional skeletal strand structure.

We provide custom fabrication of these materials through various cutting technologies and bonding methods. Some open cell foam is unique in that it operates more like a spring easily returning to its original state after compression thanks to the unrestricted air. Common open cell materials include reticulated foam polyurethane foam and open cell rubber. Reticulated means like a net.
