Polyether versus Polyester Foams
Reticulated foams come in two main types, polyester and polyether.
Reticulated polyester foams: These foams have excellent filtration properties. They are perfect in applications where the filter comes in contact with gases such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitrogen. Polyester foam has a consistent cell structure. It can be compressed into sheets of desired thickness and is durable and shock absorbent. When manufactured with additives, it can be flame retardant, anti-static, conductive, and even more.
Reticulated polyether foams: These foams offer excellent performances in moist environments due to their looser structure. They are often used for filtering air, liquid, and sound. Among other things, polyether foam has excellent water, moisture and mold resistance, superior solvency characteristics and strong resistance to degradation. This type of foam is perfect for applications such as humidifiers, medical devices, water purification systems, and more.
