Overview
Durethane® F is our adaptable polyurethane foam technology. We create Durethane® F by introducing blowing agents to the material chemistry, which generates gas bubbles and embeds a cellular structure in the cured material. This proprietary foaming process allows us to engineer foams with open or closed cells and a wide range of specifiable physical properties.
