Foam and Sponge Materials

Foam & Sponge Materials

There are hundreds of different types of foams produced for different applications:-

Polyether or Polyester Polyurethanes, PVA, Cellulose

Low to High Density.

Small, Large or Twin Pore Sizes.

Closed or Open Cell.

Non or Flame Retardant.

Flexible or Semi Rigid.

Plain, Melamine or Post Treated Impregnated Foams.

Each foam has been designed with specific characteristics, it's our ability to listen to your requirements and match those to the best foam available which sets us apart from the competition, and at a competitive price.

The following is a small selection we have found to be consistent and cost effective for a number of applications including the sponging of ceramic clay ware.
