Evaluation of Polyimide Flexible Foam,
Abstract
A 0.5 pcf polyimide flexible foam developed by Solar Turbines International, Division of International Harvester Corp., was evaluated for cushioning and flammability characteristics. The results showed that the dynamic cushioning characteristics were equivalent to 0.5 polyurethane foam at 72 degrees F, superior at -40 degrees F and the foam has improved reuseability. When exposed to a flame of a bunsen burner the polyimide foam was considered non-burning, with little smoke emission or odor. (Author)
