Foam Coating Process

FXI's Foam Coating Process

FXI foams can be coated using a "dip and nip" coating process to apply a coating to the foam. Foam coating can include: latex, PVC, acrylics, vinyl, activated carbon, conductive carbon, etc.



Uses of Foam Coating

Different foam coatings perform different functions with regards to surface properties when applied following the polyurethane manufacturing process.

  • Foam coating can deliver certain melting properties for heat seal applications
  • Certain foam coating offers adhesive properties for vacuum seal applications
  • For certain applications, foam coating can provide low surface energy (as for a non-stick surface)
  • Some foam coating can create desired electronic properties (such as passivity and conduction)
  • Ensure water-resistant or water-proof properties with foam coating
