Aerospace

Foam is also used in aerospace where structural integrity, temperature compensation, thermal stability and mechanical stability is required. Polyurethane is a unique material that offers the elasticity of rubber combined with the toughness and durability of metal. It is available in a diverse range of hardness which allows the engineer to replace rubber, plastic and metal with a product that is more resistant to abrasion and has more desirable physical properties. Foam is used in aerospace as it has better abrasion and tear-resistant properties than rubbers, while offering higher load-bearing capacity. Using foam in aerospace also has additional advantages like weight and better acoustic properties.
