About Foam

Resilient Polyurethane Foam Sheets and Strips

Even after extended compression, these high-performance polyurethane foam sheets and strips bounce back to shape faster than any other foam we offer. Also known as Poron urethane, they also stand up to wear caused by rubbing and scraping. Use them in packaging applications to absorb shock and damp vibration. This foam has open-cell construction, which allows water, air, and gases to be absorbed. These sheets and strips have an ultra-smooth texture for a sleek surface that's easy to wipe down.

Water-Resistant Resilient Polyurethane Foam Sheets and Strips

Good for tough vacuum-sealing and low closure-force applications, these polyurethane foam sheets and strips have open/closed cells to keep water, air, and gases from being absorbed when they are compressed at least 25%. Even after extended compression, all bounce back to shape faster than other foams we offer. Also known as Poron urethane and Poron AquaPro, they resist wear from rubs and scrapes. Their ultra-smooth texture makes them easy to wipe down.

Shock-Absorbing Resilient Polyurethane Foam Sheets and Strips

Often used for impact pads, gaskets, and enclosure seals, these polyurethane foam sheets and strips absorb shock better than other resilient foam. This material is also known as ShockSeal Poron urethane and is one of the softest foams available. It bends and conforms to fill gaps and seal uneven surfaces while remaining compressible. Even after extended compression, these sheets and strips will bounce back to shape quickly. They also resist wear from rubbing and scraping. These sheets and strips have an open-cell construction that absorbs water, air, and gases. An ultra-smooth texture makes them easy to wipe down.
