Adams Foam

Flexible polyurethane foam is produced from a reaction of two key chemicals, a polyol and an isocyanate with water. These are mixed together vigorously in high intensity mixers in specific amounts with other ingredients, and the foam reaction begins almost immediately. Bubbles are formed, and the mixture expands. It has been compared to bread rising. In a matter of minutes, the reaction is complete.

Although the process used to create all polyurethane foams is similar, foams can vary by weight, density, color, resiliency, air flow, combustibility, and feel.

Other types of foam, such as polyethylene foam, vary in their production. Typically, however, creation of these foams also consists of a mixture of chemicals that reacts to create bubbles. The rising mixture is extruded into sheets or logs.

Adams Foam is committed to ensuring that all of our foam products meet the highest industry specifications, and we regularly communicate with our suppliers to ensure that our foam meets all expectations.
