require an elastomer foam manufacturable in sheet form
require an elastomer foam manufacturable in sheet form
(OP)
I am seeking a elastomer foam, which meets these criteria:
- Thin (less than 1 mm thick, ideal is 0.5 mm thick) and flexible and is available in sheets
- Fast rebound rate
- Low creep
- Low compression set
- Consistent deflection under given pressure (example: if the elastomer were compressed under 50 psi it would have x deflection. the foam would then be released and allowed to rest. Then when it is compressed again under 50 psi the deflection is still x.)
Does anyone know of any material that might meet the above requirements.
Thanks
