Absorbent Foam

Capu-Cell™ is highly versatile hydrophilic foam that will absorb up to 15 times its weight in fluids and can be formulated with various chemical agents to deliver reliable results for your specific project needs.

Due to technological limitations, manufacturers who incorporate absorbent foam into their finished products have long assumed that the material uses are straightforward and limited. Recently, however, tremendous breakthroughs have unlocked the potential of low-density foam and greatly expanded the list of its potential applications.

Thanks to Capu-cell’s™ hydrophilic configuration that allows this seemingly ordinary material to absorb up to 15 times its mass in fluids, absorbent foam can now be used in a variety of industries.

Several key properties set this foam apart. First, it is smooth, meaning it can be used to apply medication or cosmetic products to human skin and membranes without causing abrasion. It is also strong and tear-resistant, unlike many other types of foam, so it can be used to clean and protect industrial surfaces as well. Its hydrophilic design ensures full absorption of solvents and fluids, ensuring both minimal wastes when used as an applicator and for wicking.

Industries are starting to take note of the transformative potential of this material. Semiconductor manufacturers who have long struggled with the logistics of packaging their sensitive products can finally ship their wares in a completely dry, stable environment with minimal risk. These same properties make absorbent foam a good fit for delicate wound care operations and in cleanrooms, where surfaces must be spotless and sanitary.
