Specialty Foams

United Foam will work with you to determine the right foam for your particular application. Listed below are some of the specialty foams that we have utilized for our clients.

Anti-static
A grade of foam that prevents or inhibits the build up of static electricity, primarily used for the protection and packaging of sensitive electronic components and products. This offers a lower range of electrical resistance than static dissipative and conductive foams.

Breathable
Open cell foams that allow air to pass through at controlled and measurable rates.

Conductive
A grade of foam that offers the highest level of electrical resistance, and provides excellent EMI shielding. Conductive refers to the material's ability to drain away charges instantly.

Hydrophilic
A "water loving" grade of foam for applications that require the ability to absorb or retain moisture.

Hydrophobic
A "water fearing" grade of foam for applications that require the ability to shed or resist moisture.

Neoprene
A synthetic rubber product from DuPont of high molecular weight. Its ability to stretch, and resistance to chemicals and oxidation, make it ideal for hoses, adhesives, and many other applications. UFP solutions will often combine Neoprene with a wide array of fabrics.

Sponge Rubber
Neoprene and silicone are examples of sponge rubber, known for its excellent flotation, shock resistance, sound absorption, insulating and weight-to-strength properties.

Static Dissipative
A grade of foam in the middle range of electrical resistance.greater than anti-static and lower than conductive.
