Description
Polyurethane Foam is a CFC-free, rigid, closed-cell, flame-retardant foam core and has a density of 6 pounds per cubic foot (PCF). It exhibits a high strength-to-weight ratio due to its cellular structure and cross-linked resin. Because of its closed-cell structure, Polyurethane Foam has great resistance to water absorption, and will not swell, crack, or split on exposure to water.
Features/Benefits
- Stable and inert
- Flame retardant
- High strength-to-weight ratio from cross-linked resin
- Resistant to most chemicals and solvents
- Easily shaped with common woodworking tools
- Performs well as wood replacement
- Will not support fungal growth
Uses Include
- Models and design prototypes
- Composite core, especially where flame retardation is important
- Radioactive materials (RAM) transportation packages
- Vacuum form dies and mold patterns
- Load bearing
- Dielectric material for radomes and antennas

Tips When using as a tooling board, it is recommended that you do a rough cut first, leaving 1-3 mm of material for finishing. Use caution at edges and tight corners to avoid chipping at the start of a new pathway and when exiting the foam. Resources Article: Case Applications- Filling the Need
