Properties of polyurethane foam: Is it a polymer material?

 
Polyurethane foam, referred to as PU foam. It is a foam plastic made of polyurethane as raw material. Polyurethane, English name polyurethane, referred to as PU. It is an emerging organic polymer material, known as the "fifth largest plastic". Therefore, polyurethane foam undoubtedly also belongs to the category of polymer materials. With its unique physical and chemical properties, it plays a pivotal role in the field of electronics.
Polyurethane foam
Features
It has excellent sealing performance to avoid gas release and atomization.
Compression deformation resistance, that is, elasticity has durability, which can ensure long-term shock protection of accessories.
It is flame retardant, does not contain harmful substances, does not leave residue, will not pollute equipment, and is not corrosive to metals.
It can be used in a variety of temperature ranges. It can be used from minus 40 degrees Celsius to 90 degrees.
The surface has excellent wettability, is easy to bond, easy to make, and easy to punch.
The engineering polyurethane formula provides a wide range of applications to meet more design requirements.
 
Advantages
Lightweight: Due to its porous structure, polyurethane foam has a lower density, thus ensuring the lightweight characteristics.
High elasticity: Polyurethane foam can withstand greater pressure without deformation and has good elasticity.
Heat and sound insulation: The porous structure allows polyurethane foam to effectively reduce noise and heat transfer.
Chemical resistance: Polyurethane foam can resist corrosion from a variety of chemicals and has good chemical resistance.
Abrasion resistance and aging resistance: Polyurethane foam has excellent wear resistance and aging resistance and a long service life.
Processability: Polyurethane foam can be processed into various shapes and sizes to meet different application requirements.
 
Main uses
