How to Choose a PU Foam with the Right Compressive Strength

The correct type of PU foam with the right compressive strength can be significant for a lot of applications. Whether you’re in construction, furniture or automotive, choosing PU foam wisely can make all the difference with the quality and life of your product In this blog there are a variety of factors to consider selecting PU foam with compressive strength. 

Selecting the Right PU Foam for Wholesaling

For large scale applications that are wholesale, e. g. furniture manufacturing or constructions projects… to chose the right ‘PU foam’ is very important. Should you be looking for memory foam mattresses, one of the first things that you have to think about is density. More dense foams also typically have improved compressive strength, they work well in applications where wear and tear is a concern. So if you are producing sets of sofas or mattresses, where medium to high density PU foam can help product to keep its form and comfort in usage. You'll also want to think about the density of the big gap filler foam may wear out over time, firmer ones can provide more durable support). With the focus on what you need for your wholesale applications, you are able select a PU foam that delivers what you need and pleases your customers. 

A Method of Measuring the Compression Strength of PU Foam

The compressive strength of PU foam is an important property which may determine whether the material can sustain compression when applied to its intended use. One known way to test the compressive strength is compression testing. In this test, the foam is compressed to a percentage of its original height at a constant speed. The force necessary for compressing the foam to this percent is recorded as a measure of its compressive strength. The cell structure of the foam may be another thing to take into account – generally, soft and flexible open-cell foams tend to cushion more but firm and supportive closed-cell foams support better. You can compare the compressive strength and cell structure of PU construction foam which will help you choose the best foam for your application. 

Common Mistakes to Avoid when working with PU Foam in Wholesale applications

The following are some of the common problems that can occur when PU foam is being used in a wholesale context, along with their solutions. One of the crucial problems is inappropriately selecting a PU foam in terms of compressive strength. Compressive strength is the force a foam can withstand under pressure without deforming or collapsing. If the compressive strength is too little, the foam may lack appropriate support for its use application such that a structure collapsed. Conversely, if the compressive strength is too high, it could be more expensive than needed and more than what’s needed for the job. You should be mindful of the compressive strength needs of your own project in order to avoid these problems. 

Providing Quality Products with the Right PU Foam Compressive Strength

In order to make the product with high-quality and right compressive strength PU foam, you should consider your specific project. Different applications will have different compressive strengths that are required so it is important to select a PU foam accordingly. Haohai supplies a full range of PU foams in different compressive strengths for specific applications. Choosing the correct density of expandable filler foam for your application will always ensure that all your cut out products are of the highest possible quality and satisfy performance requirements. 

Wholesale Buyers’ Guide for the Best PU Foam Selection for Their Business

For retailers considering choosing the right PU foam for their business, there are a couple of important factors to think about. 1 Firstly, you will need to understand what your project demands are i. e. what compressive strength is required. Haohai has the products that are best for your applications, we determine each customer’s suitable product by analyzing their multi-industry requirements and offer wide range of Polyurethane foams with different compression strength. Considerations for quality, reliability, and so forth of the foam itself should also be a factor. Ensuring that you carefully consider each of these points and choose the best PU foam for your company's needs means high-quality items that appeal to your customers.
