No, latex product is not the same as urethane or furniture foam. Urethane is a plastic. It doesn't have the longevity and resiliency of rubber. They don't make rubber bands or tires out of urethane (plastic), because urethane can't stretch and return to shape like rubber. In short, when worked, they lose resiliency and shape. The just won't give you the same comfort a year from now that they do in the showroom.

Urethane and fiberglass are two different materials used to make body kits. Urethane body kits have perfect or near-perfect fitment and are more durable than fiberglass parts. Because they are made of a rubbery material they can flex and bend without cracking or breaking. They are also more chip-resistant than fiberglass parts. Fiberglass parts are generally lighter and easier to modify if any custom work is planned. Fiberglass is also easier to repair and less difficult to paint.

shown above, polyurethane is just "many urethanes", so, technically, urethane is just the chemical group shown above and polyurethane is a material than incorporates many urethane groups.

Polyurethane is a term used to describe a wide ranging family of elastomers (any compound exhibiting the characteristics of natural rubber; stretchy and elastic.). Poly meaning "many" and "urethane" the classification of the chemical structure. Polyurethane or urethane for short, is used as a solid cast material (bushings). Polyurethane can be as soft as a rubber band or as hard as plastic.

One-Component foam comes in a single can (or cylinder) and cures in 10 to 20 minutes through a reaction with moisture in the atmosphere. Two-Component foam comes in a kit with two cans (or cylinders), each containing a separate chemical. Upon activation of the kit, the chemicals are mixed and dispensed through a specialized dispensing unit. The cure time is much shorter than One-Component foams, usually within two minutes.

Different raw materials yield different grades of paint. Kirker manufactures three grades of paint, suitable for different automotive refinish applications. See the chart below for specific differences in the performance expectations of each Acrylic Urethane (ULTRA-GLO) features the most modern coatings technology, which gives it excellent durability, gloss retention and color holdout. ACRYL-GLO Acrylic Enamel is a traditional coating, most often used on passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

Feng Shui and Foam Furniture With its roots in China, Feng Shui refers to the art of creating a peaceful environment by placing furniture in a certain arrangement. Foam furniture, which is naturally soft and comfortable, can help create a wonderful Feng Shui living room. It is important when creating a Feng Shui living room to choose the correct color to represent the different Feng Shui elements.

Memory foam is heat sensitive. It feels firm when it is cold and soft when it is warm. Polyurethane foam does not have the ability to respond to temperature. It feels the same in a warm or cold environment. Memory foam also has pressure-relieving properties. If you push your hand into its surface it will leave an impression for several seconds after you remove your hand. Ordinary (Polyurethane) foam regains its original shape immediately after your hand has been removed, it has no memory at all.

Latex is natural and memory foam is synthetic; memory foam is temperature sensitive, while latex foam is not; lastly memory foam is denser (heavier) than latex foam.

Visco Elastic Memory foam is a temperature sensitive form of polyurethane foam that has special additives that create a self-adhesion property for a few seconds after being exposed to a heat source (your body). Over time, the adhesive slowly releases, allowing the foam to return to its original shape. This conforming property is very popular to thousands of sleepers worldwide, due in most part to Tempurpedic's marketing efforts.

Injection foam is totally expanded at the nozzle tip. Spray foam expands after the nozzle tip. Injection foam is simply plastic coated air bubbles, Spray foam is two chemical components sprayed at 1500 psi under high heat. Injection foam can be injected in a concealed space. Spray foam must be sprayed in a open cavity. Back to Top

Rubber is the sap of trees found mostly in tropical climates. The sap is altered by mixtures of carbon (why it's black) and mineral oils and various fillers. Polyurethane is completely chemical or man-made. Because rubber is a biodegradable product it is affected by ozone and will over time dry rot and degrade, while urethane will keep going and going. Urethane bushings will increase the performance handling characteristics of your vehicle. Urethane is a firmer material then rubber.

Urethane bushing are a harder material the stock rubber. Generally a tighter more responsive ride is noticed after Urethane is installed.

Latex is natural and memory foam is synthetic; memory foam is temperature sensitive, while latex foam is not; lastly memory foam is denser (heavier) than latex foam.

No. The Applicant Profile is where you can store information about your education, experience, training and other data. This placeholder allows you to enter all of your information once, and not have to "re-invent the wheel" each time you want to apply. (Of course the profile will need updated when you gain more experience, if your contact information changes, etc.

Bienfang? PilloCore? is made with a softer foam that allows the edges to close completely when die cut. You can also create effects by embossing and debossing the foam creating a "pillowed" look. Resilient foam is also known as a memory core, when die cut resilient foam will bounce back to its original thickness. You can not create effects in this foam by embossing, debossing or scoring the foam as you can with Bienfang PilloCore.

Since Auralex has been in business, our priorities have been (a) safety and (b) better sound. Auralex acoustical foam products are engineered to be (a) inherently fire retardant and (b) the best for treating acoustics. Many "bedding" or "packing" foams are (a) not fire retardant at all and (b) perform poorly as acoustical treatments. More than ever, Auralex encourages for the buyer to beware.

Foam Sclerotherapy is the procedure by which a micro-foam of STS is injected into the veins. This requires the use of ultrasound to guide the injections when treating large veins.

Latex differs from memory foam in its elastic, open-cell structure that recovers from pressure immediately. Memory foam has a slower recovery time. Latex is a very supportive, yet conforming material.
