Hydrophilic foams
Cosmetic foams, Supersoft foams
Hydrophilic foams are the ideal flexible foam solution for applications in which moisture absorbency, breathability, and softness are vital properties.
As the leading manufacturer of technically superior, quality flexible foams at Technical Foam Services we manufacture a range of hydrophilic polyurethane foams and products in a wide variety of grades, to meet even the most stringent specifications.
These include:
- Medical dressings
- Cosmetic applicators and removers
- Packaging for moisture sensitive goods
- Consumer goods
Medical applications
Hydrophilic foams have been adopted for a varied range of wound, anti-scar and post-operative dressings with great success. As a leading manufacturer in this field, we supply a wide selection of hydrophilic foam grades.
Providing a superior level of absorbency and significantly higher strength - combined with breathability, biocompatibility, softness, and flexibility - our hydrophilic foam solutions provide an effective non-linting, non-adhering, latex-free protective wound healing environment.
We can also supply products in composite forms with additional anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties and with an in-house engineering team and superior technical capabilities, our range of hydrophilic foam products is second to none.
With an established customer base in the medical sphere, we have a written protocol and sterilising services in place, therefore allowing us to offer a comprehensive, one-stop service.
Cosmetic applications
We produce a wide range of specialised hydrophilic solutions for the cosmetic market, including foam applicators and removers, wipes, sponges, and manicure and pedicure pads.
All 100% latex-free, non-toxic and odourless, these products are incredibly durable and flexible, with no flaking or peeling, while also being extremely soft and gentle on the skin. Washable and re-usable, they are ideal for the application and removal of liquid and powder make-up as well as beauty and aesthetic creams, for use in the home and professional salons.
We also supply cosmetic release foams products, which are specifically engineered to carry and release products such as cleansing products, moisturisers and fragrances.
With our superior in-house engineering facilities and wide range of grades we are able to produce cosmetic hydrophilic foams in a vast array of colours and shapes to meet the exact requirements of each customer in terms of performance and aesthetics.
Protective packaging
In recent times, hydrophilic foams have also been more widely adopted in the electronics packaging industry to provide effective protection where goods are susceptible to moisture damage and this is another area where Technical Foam Services' expertise comes to the fore.
With decades of experience in both hydrophilic foam conversion and the production of protective packaging foams, we have the know-how to produce custom engineered, precision cut products to provide a truly superior solution for producers of moisture sensitive goods.
Soaking up new ideas
We also manufacture a multitude of consumer goods where hydrophilic foams provide superior performance such as durable floor cleaning sponges. As an innovative and forward-thinking company, with outstanding prototype, testing and manufacturing capabilities, we are constantly developing new applications for these highly versatile products.
