Hibco Plastics Filter Foam (Reticulated Foam)

Filter Foam (Reticulated Foam) is an open-pore polyurethane foam ideal for air filters in air conditioners and I.C. engines, or ceramic filters. It can also be dipped or coated to perform other functions. Reticulation is a process by which the cell walls of the foam are removed leaving a skeletal structure behind. Filter or reticulated foam works as a depth-loading filter instead of a surface-loading filter.

Foam Type: Open Cell Foam, Reticulated Foam

Chemical Family: Polyurethanes (PU)

End Uses: Air Conditioner Filters, Automotive Engine, Furniture

    Product Highlights

    When this foam is used for filtering purposes, it is able to "catch" dust particles within its cell structure. Since the process of reticulation only leaves the skeletal structure, this foam has a much higher degree of surface area for the collection of dust particles. Filter foam has a uniform cell structure, which allows for it to be engineered for pressure drop and filtering efficiency by changing its pore size.
