Polyurethane Foam Mouldings is the process of casting Polyurethane Foam. It is the process that involves mixing the polyurethane foam and placing it in a mould to create a product. The foam expands and sets within the mould, producing a tough and durable product. It is a cost-effective process where the mixture is poured into the mould in a rigid and flexible form to generate the products. Get in touch with professionals for PU foam moulding. The experts can help you with the process.
What are the types of PU Foam mouldings?
Polyurethane Foam moulding is a technological invention. BIts characteristics allow for two types of applications: rigid and flexible.
- Rigid Polyurethane Foam
This is a type of foam with high-density closed cells. It is formed by spraying the mixture over the mould. The compound mixture is sprayed over the object that needs to be made out of the mould. Panels with rigid Polyurethane Foam and flexible coatings are made with different thicknesses in mind. The moulds are generally produced with continuous and discontinuous systems. The thickness varies depending on the complexity of the machine and design.
They stand out among others as the most effective insulation material for increasing environmental sustainability. Moulds made from this type of foam will perform superiorly.
- Flexible Polyurethane Foam
This type of foam is a Polyurethane Foam with open cells and a soft consistency. The mould later assumes a solid form. These types of foams are used for fixing fireplace pipes or cracks. You can easily obtain moulding and casting with the help of this foam. These foams produce pads for seats, furnishings, and saddles. Thus, they are mostly used in the automobile industry.
What are the different methods of PU Foam moulding?
The process is variable and complex. Polyurethane is one of the most flexible materials, and it can be shaped into any product by putting it in a mould. Common methods include open-cast and compression moulding.
Open-cast moulding involves pouring liquid Polyurethane into a mould or setting. This method is low-cost and affordable. However, you can expect to get highly durable products from this type of mould. Moreover, this process suits all types of designs.
Compression moulding involves pouring the material into a setting and then undergoing a compressor. This is an expensive process.
