Polyurethane foams are an extremely versatile group of materials, differing in density, elasticity, and applications. Understanding their properties is key to selecting the right cutting technology.
Flexible (soft) foams with a density of 15–60 kg/m³ are most commonly used in the furniture, mattress, and automotive industries. They require precise vertical or horizontal cutting — PPA and PARK type cutters are perfectly suited for their processing.
Semi-rigid foams (35–100 kg/m³) are used in technical insulation, protective packaging, and damping elements. Their cutting requires machines with increased drive power and reinforced blades.
Rigid foams (30–800 kg/m³) are mainly used in construction as thermal insulation, in refrigeration, and transport. Their cutting requires machines with high structural rigidity and precise guiding systems.
Specialty foams — viscoelastic (memory foam), antistatic, flame-retardant, and acoustic — have growing applications in medicine, electronics, and aerospace. Each type requires individually selected cutting parameters.
Choosing the right cutter depends on the foam type, required shape (straight cuts vs 3D contours), production scale, and required accuracy. Our team advises clients on optimal machine selection for specific applications.
