Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What does density mean?

The density is the weight of the foam in kg/m? (kilogram per cubic meter). The weight or density of the foam is also an indicator of quality, the higher the density, the more long-lasting the quality. However, the density has nothing to do with the perceived degree of hardness. As a rule, lighter foams are cheaper because less material is needed.

What does compression hardness mean?

The compression hardness or also called compression resistance is the pressure required to compress a foam. At a compression hardness of 60, 6.6 kPa (kiloPascal) is required to compress the foam to 40%. The compression hardness of a foam is its strength.

What are standard foam qualities?

The density and compression hardness describe the technical quality of a foam. The compression hardness describes the indentation behaviour of foams at a defined force. The higher this value, the harder the foam feels. An important quality feature of a foam is its density or volume weight (m3 kilograms per cubic meter). As a rule of thumb: -20 - 30 kg/m3 => Quality for seat and back cushions, low-priced mattresses, -30 - 40 kg/cbm => Standard to upscale quality for seat and back cushions, mattresses, boat, camping or garden cushions etc. -40 - 50 kg/cbm => high to very high and very good permanently elastic quality for a wide range of applications

Foam packaging for the representation and protection of sensitive goods.?? Foam packaging is particularly recommended when it comes to protecting high-value and highly sensitive goods. Whatever products you have to pack, e.g. measuring instruments, medical technical apparatus, controls, devices or other highly sensitive goods ? We support you in the realisation and development of your foam packaging, which is optimally adapted to the requirements of your product. The basic requirements for safety or transport protection packaging are maximum protection with minimum volume and weight of the packaging material, taking into account the sensitivity of the product to be packaged as well as the customer-related logistics routes.
