FAQS
FrequentlyAsked Questions
Does foam change over time?
The long-term performance of flexible polyurethane foam has been proven via accelerated laboratory testing and long-term actual use observations. The properties of a quality flexible polyurethane cushioning foam remain essentially unchanged during the lifetime of a vehicle.
What is the difference between ILD and IFD?
These terms express the relative hardness of foams. The obsolete term ILD, meaning Indentation Load Deflection, is a misnomer inherited from the latex rubber foam industry. The correct term is IFD where F = Force since hardness is determined by applying a force to a piece of foam at a specified deflection; e.g. 25/40/50/65%.
Are there other cushioning materials, besides polyurethane foam, used in automotive seating?
A good question! Very little non-foam cushioning materials are used worldwide. Alternative cushioning materials, like latex foam or coconut fiber pads, usually have carry-over or obsolete property requirements based on material characteristics, not product function. These materials typically have a negative economic or performance impact on the finished seat.
