GraFlex® turns away from the use of harmful chemical retardants as an active ingredient in favor of a naturally occurring graphite by-product generated from carbon mining. Without sacrificing the comfort, durability, and resiliency you have come to expect, this heat resistant molded foam dramatically reduces the heat release, mass loss, smoke generation, and toxic gas emissions that typically radiate from fire. This is done through the expandable properties of the graphite, which grows to more than 100 times its original volume when exposed to heat and covers the entire burning surface with a “worm” like structure of expanded graphite.

Grand Rapids Foam Technologies Molded High Resilience Foam is used in applications such as furniture, marine, medical, mattress, aerospace and automobile applications.

Grand Rapids Foam Technologies Fabricated Foam is used in applications such as furniture, marine, medical, mattress, aerospace and automobile applications.

Grand Rapids Foam Technologies Rigid Urethane is even considered one of the most efficient insulation materials for residential and commercial properties because it can help maintain an even temperature and reduce noise levels. Potential uses for this versatile, high-performance foam are being discovered and experimented with constantly.

Grand Rapids Foam Technologies Self-Skinning Foamis most frequently found in common household items like office chairs, arm rests, and keyboard trays. The automotive industry has also found uses for it in baby seats, headrests, and other forms of protective padding and safety measures. However, more uses are being found for I-skin almost every day, from common items like shoe soles and mattresses to specialized products like stage props and medical instruments. The long-lasting durability and resilience of I-skin leads to durable, attractive products.

Grand Rapids Foam Technologies Gel Foam is commonly used in mattresses and other sleep products, and for good reason. As a topical component, it’s noted for its cooling features, as the gel both promotes the flow of air and dissipates body heat, allowing sleepers to maintain a comfortably cool temperature throughout the entire night.

Grand Rapids Foam Technologies Visco Elastic Foam was invented in the 1960s by a team at NASA. Although it was originally used in orbital vehicles, it is now a common product found in mattresses, pillows, cushions, headphones, and more. Mold and mildew resistance are critical for the thin layers of padding in bathmats and the soles of shoes. It’s a surprisingly diverse range of applications for a product chiefly associated with comfortable mattresses.
