    Smile Re: Foam

    Hey there!
    if you go to www.dunlop.com.au you will find PDF files giving you the correct density for all Polyurethane Foams and their Density and Size;

    (I.E in Acoustics we use 48/96 Kg/m3 Density Fibreglass or Polyester, indeed Tontine Acoustisorb 3 @ 48/Kg/m3 would be perfect and you can cut it to size, regarding Polyurethane Foam the 29/33 Kg/m3 Density is used (Fireproof) for Acoustics.) Though as I understand the heavier 55-60 Kg/m3 or often more/less often used depending on requirements for bedding & furniture is used for arm rests and backing to mould to the frame etc. Dunlop should have what you require or Tontine (United Bonded) and you should get a Pro Forma Invoice going if you order enough.
    I hope this helps..... First post on the forum & all being a newbie.
    Cheers

    Cool ATSM Standards for Foam:

    Sorry, also forgot to mention they conform to the ISO900/9001 & ATSM Standards.

    What are your plans for it?

    I can recomend the Dunlop enduro, been using it for years although I prefer the next grade down, a 25/60 in foam for backs with a helping of enduro 36/130 for lumber support

    Here is another thing. I know my boss buys foam mattresses direct from Dunlop.

    Pricing is much better than what he can buy retail. Also found many transport companies (Toll comes to mind) wont freight them. When you find someone to freight them for u the cost is quite high, can only assume its a cubic size thing.

    Its much cheaper for him to jump in a ute in Bendigo and pick them up himself from Melb, fuel included.

    I will never be the person who has everything, not when someone keeps inventing so much cool new stuff to buy.

    From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".

    That's right. It costs more to ship air than solids. A seaborne vessel containing air has less draft for stability, and is harder to control. A truck trailer full of air has less ballast weight, and requires more careful driving.
