Feb 28, 2025

When it comes to filtering, cushioning, and sealing in industrial and commercial applications, reticulated polyurethane foam gaskets are among the most versatile materials available. But what exactly are they, and where are they used?

What is Reticulated Polyurethane Foam?

Reticulated polyurethane foam is an open-cell foam with a controlled pore structure, making it ideal for air and liquid filtration, sound absorption, and dust sealing. Its unique composition allows air and moisture to pass while filtering out particulates.

Benefits of Reticulated Polyurethane Foam Gaskets

  • Excellent airflow and filtration
  • Lightweight and flexible
  • Durable under compression
  • Customizable pore size
  • Resistant to mold, mildew, and chemicals

Where Are Reticulated Foam Gaskets Used?

  • HVAC systems for air filtration
  • Electronics and battery compartments for dust sealing
  • Automotive components for noise reduction and sealing
  • Medical devices for fluid management and filtration
  • Industrial equipment for vibration dampening
