ÜROSANVISCO®

visco

Being one of the first viscoelastic foam manufacturers in Turkey, Urosan presents UROSANVISCO by maintaining the known quality standard in this product as well.

Urosanvisco foams are manufactured by a contemporary technology and they take the shape of the body where they are used. Thus, they expand the load of the body to a wider area and facilitate blood circulation of the capillaries.

These temperature sensing foams gain flexibility as they heat after sitting and lying.

Health and Comfort

  • HEAT SENSITIVE.
  • TAKES THE SHAPE OF THE BODY.
  • PROVIDES BODY WITH EQUAL SUPPORT.
  • INCREASES CONTACT PLACES, REDUCES PRESSURE.
  • EQUALLY DISTRIBUTES WEIGHT

  • Prevention of inflammation of fuel oil tanks and fuel oil agitation of the vehicles such as race cars and combat aircrafts

Main properties sought in filter foams

Being Pore Controlled:

The pore sizes of the foams should be manufactured according to the size of the particles that they will filter and these pores should be in equal heights, and distributed homogenously within the body. The sizes can be expressed in micron and they are also expressed in PPI ("Pores Per Inch") unit so as to provide ease in purchases and sales. This size is obtained as a result of counting the pores by a magnifying glass along 1 linear inch. We can thus easily understand that pores become smaller as the number increases.

Having Open Pores:

Foam pores consist of about 30% closed cells before making “Filter”. These foams are later fully opened by a method called “Reticulation”. Thus, fluids such as air or water can fully pass through.

How does the “reticulation” of the foam affect its physical properties?

All physical properties of the foam, except for its burning property, are positively affected. Tensile strength increases between 10-32% and tear strength increases by 95%. Permanent deformation decreases from 6-8% to 3-4%. It means it is stronger and the foam does not collapse. On the following table shows the physical changes of the foams with equal intensity after being reticulated. Burning speed will naturally increase as a result of opening pores. Users need to know that. Besides, UROSAN makes “flame retardant” productions at every quality.

Air Permeability and Pressure Drop

For the reticulated foam is the most important feature to search is "Air Permeability". According to tests conducted of ISO 7231 on 25 mm thickness of the sample is measured 1dm3'lük air quantity flowing in the field. Higher values mean pore opening by the growth of pores, as this value increases, the shrinkage decreases. Another concept is "Pressure Drop". This concept will be used in the medium to be filtered in the fan or pump out of the standard value shows how much pressure loss incurred. Urosan produce products according to the international norms of quality control laboratories for testing and transmits this information to the user.

Reticulated Polyether Foams

Flexibility due to the characteristics of this type of foam used in upholstery and more. Besides these features, but is highly resistant to water, i.e. they are not hydrolyzed in aqueous media is a reason to be preferred. The second is their reason for being economical price.

Conventional Foams

They are the foams which are known as “foam” by everybody; most frequently sold and bought, the first one that comes into your mind when we say “Upholstery Foam”. They are more affordable when compared to their peers. Main types of conventional foams are shown in the following table.

Polyester Foams

 poliester

Polyester Foams have lower flexibility properties. Their Push-Release curves are far from each other. However, they have higher physical resistances. They are more durable against abrasion, friction, tear and more resistant against chemicals (such as detergents, fry cleaning solvents) as well. Therefore, they are used in the fields where rather technical requirements are prominent such as automotive industry, sound insulation, painting works etc. One of the important fields of use is textile industry (wadding, brassiere). They are preferred in cloth laminations because they are very suitable for flame lamination process. In addition to sunlight endurance it is higher than other foams and another important property is their capability of being shaped by being hot pressed. This property is very important in the preparation of automotive cases. Polyester Foam can also be manufactured in “special types”. The most popular special types are car washing Foam and Hydrophilic Foam.

Car washing Foam:

It is solid and has big pores. They were used for scratching and cleaning the insects which stick the windows of the automobiles in the long distances and named after that. Today, they are used in wall paint applications and other cleaning works.

Hydrophilic Foam:

These foams draw water into their body and keep it there. They are used in impregnation works, cosmetics and cleaning works.
