What is the difference between sponge and foam?

source: Foam Pageviews: time:May 12, 2022

describe:

Foam has high density,stronger liquid absorption,tougher and more elastic foam,good wear resistance,and will not drop crumbs.Sponge is a condensate of polyvinyl alcohol and formaldehyde,which is a white or yellowish amorphous solid.

What is the difference between foam and sponge?

 
The difference between foam and sponge:
Foam has high density, stronger liquid absorption, tougher and more elastic foam, good wear resistance, will not scratch the wiped device, and will not drop chips. After particles and liquids enter the foam holes, they will not fall out or be easily squeezed out, and have good locking ability.
 
Foam is a porous elastomer obtained by a cross-linking reaction of a specific water-soluble resin. It has a strong water absorption capacity due to the hydrophilicity in the molecular structure. Different from ordinary urethane sponge, PVA foam has extremely high hydrophilicity, and produces capillary phenomenon with the criss-crossed microscopic pores, which exerts superior water absorption and water retention performance. As soon as it comes into contact with water, it absorbs at a high speed and is stored inside the cotton body. Generally, the water absorption rate is 8-10 times its own weight.
Polyurethane foam
PVA sponge: polyvinyl formal is a condensate of polyvinyl alcohol and formaldehyde, which is a white or yellowish amorphous solid. Its softening point is higher than that of homologous acetals (140-150℃), its strength, rigidity and hardness are higher, and it has good bonding performance; it has better oil resistance and electrical insulation; it has good water resistance , Alkali and acid resistance. Combustible, black smoke. Molten dripping and characteristic odor.
