Integral rigid foam or integral flexible foam

Integral rigid foam or integral flexible foam are two variants of integral foams that are widely used in industry. These foams are produced by a process in which a non-uniform density distribution is deliberately created.

In the case of integral rigid foam, this process is used to make a specific region of the foam harder and more resistant, while other areas remain softer. This offers advantages in various applications, from cushioning to insulation, depending on the requirements of the end product.

Integral flexible foam, on the other hand, is produced by deliberately manipulating the density distribution in order to achieve a softer texture and improved elasticity in certain areas of the foam. This type of foam is often used in products that require a pleasant feel, such as mattresses or seat cushions.

By precisely controlling the density distribution, integral foams allow the material properties to be precisely adapted to the requirements of various applications, which leads to diverse possible uses in various industries.
