Foam is not just for sitting - By: Ronald Kresten

You could probably think of many uses of foam around your home or place of work with very little effort being required. If you were required to name some technical uses of foam, ideas may be a little less forthcoming for most of us, although it is likely a few would typically be mentioned.

Possibly, this may raise a question or two about what a company such as Technical Foam Services Ltd does.
We design, develop, manufacture and cut foam to fulfil a bewildering range of applications that go so much further than the typical list of various forms of cushioning that most people consider when putting together their mental list of foam applications. This is not to say that cushioning is not a significant element of technical foams. Beyond the obvious chair that you sit upon, cushioning foams are used as packaging for valuable or sensitive equipment such as photography equipment or sensitive instruments.

The basic seat cushion will also benefit from many technical features such as fire retardancy. All modern furniture is required to meet certain standards of fire resistance but, applications such as aircraft seating stretches the development boundaries yet further. All the while, the simple function of cushioning itself places its own development demands. A budget foam may rapidly lose its shape and supportive properties whilst a higher performance foam may afford better comfort in the first instance and also, for considerably longer.

In addition to the design of manufacture of these foams, when the correct properties have been secured within a choice of foam, there is then the requirement to manufacture to the correct design. Foam can be fashioned into an extensive range of shapes that enable almost any need to be fulfilled. Foam can be cut utilising a number of techniques such as hot wire cutting or water jet cutting amongst many others.
