Silver polyurethane foam contains a small amount of active silver ions. This additive is responsible for the antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties of the material. It makes this brand of polyurethane foam indispensable for the manufacture of special furniture and home accessories.
Silver foam and its scope of application
This type of polyurethane foam is primarily used for the production of mattresses and pillows. It is suitable for people with particularly sensitive skin and excessive sweating. But you can also buy Silver foam for the production of the following products:
- medical accessories, such as orthopedic pillows or heating pads;
- children’s toys that do not require mandatory sterilization;
- home accessories, such as pads, mats, slippers, etc.
In general, Silver polyurethane foam can be used in the same industries as conventional furniture foam. This makes it convenient and versatile.
Main characteristics of Silver polyurethane foam
The most important properties of this material are:
- the ability to slow down or stop the development of bacteria;
no mold, rot or unpleasant odors; - preservation of active silver ions under the influence of moisture, ultraviolet radiation and heating;
- maximum level of safety for sensitive skin, no irritation and allergic reactions;
- high level of elasticity, ability to restore shape after high pressure.
It is worth noting that the maximum activation of silver ions occurs during contact with liquid. This provides enhanced protection in the event of contamination of the object or the release of large amounts of sweat. These unique properties open up a wide range of applications for the material in medicine.
What types of Silver grade polyurethane foam are available?
We offer four types of polyurethane foam containing active silver ions:
- ST 1625 AB;
- ST 2230 AB;
- EL 2540 AB;
- HR 4035 AB.
It is important to understand that the names of these materials encode their main properties. For example, ST is a standard furniture and construction polyurethane foam, EL is a foam with increased density and extended service life, and HR is a high elasticity foam. When used in the furniture industry, these material grades can withstand loads from 60 to 120 kg. You can learn more about their characteristics in the following table.
| Grade | Apparent Density, kg/m³ | Compression Stress at 40%, kPa | Residual Deformation, 22h, 70°C, 50%, max | Elasticity | Relative Elongation, min | Tensile Strength, kPa |
