MATERIAL AND CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS

BONDED FOAM
Folding mats for indoor use in physical education programs where a softer surface is desired. Firmer and more durable than virgin urethane foam. 7.5 lb. density. Note: there is no significant difference in softness when touched, in comparison with 4-6 lb. density bonded foam. There is a significant difference in the life of 7.5 lb. density over less dense 4 or 6 lb. bonded foam. Heavier than polyethylene and polyurethane mats.

CROSS-LINKED POLYETHYLENE FOAM
The dense closed cell keeps the foam from bottoming out and the crosslink gives it a softer feel and makes it last longer. Light weight and prevents structural breakdown. 2.2 lbs. per cubic foot density. Firm feel.

ETHAFOAM [trademark polyethylene foam]
A dense closed cell polyethylene foam. Density: 2.2 lbs. per cubic ft. Known for its shock absorbency, light weight, and moisture resistance. When produced by Dow Chemical this foam carries their trade name-Ethafoam.

POLYETHYLENE FOAM
A dense closed cell polyethylene foam. Its 2.2 lbs. per cubic foot density provides excellent shock absorbency. It is light weight, moisture resistant and durable. Firm feel. For use in folding mats where a firmer surface is desired. Produced without trade name. Generic.

POLYURETHANE FOAM
An open cell polyurethane foam, used for cushioning material that comes in a density of 1.8 lbs. per cubic foot. Because of its softness, thicker foam is used to prevent "bottoming out". Not as durable as the bonded foam but lighter in weight with a softer feel.
