PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET
Flexible Polyurethane Foam
Future Foam’s family of polyurethane foam products consist of polyether and polyester
urethane polymers ranging in density from one (1) pound to six (6) pounds per cubic foot.
They are 90+% polyurethane polymer. Depending upon the product the balance consists
of combustion modifiers and/or fillers. These materials are also referred to as FPF, PUF,
combustion modified, antistatic, high resiliency, slow recovery, FuturaTex®, FutureStat®,
FutureCell®, Supple-Soft®, HYPER-DRI®, HYPER-FLO®, HYPER-SORB® or UL94HF-1.
The foams are flexible cellular solids with cellular structures that vary with the product
grade and application. They may be any color or shape. Odor is negligible. Parameters
such as vapor pressure, vapor density, melting point, and boiling point are not applicable
to these products. The products are essentially non-water soluble.
These products are not classified as hazardous and are not known to contain any
hazardous materials. There are no known health hazards associated with these products
when used as designed. It is recommended employees wash thoroughly after handling the
products, before and after eating, smoking, drinking or using restroom facilities.
Dust may cause irritation to the respiratory tract. There are no specific exposure
limits established for these products. Dusts should be treated as “Nuisance Dusts”
or Particulates Not Otherwise Classified (PNOC). The American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) and OSHA have established standards
for dusts as noted below.
ACGIH TLV 10 mg/M
3
as inhalable fraction
3 mg/M
3
as respirable fraction
OSHA PEL 50 mppcf or 15 mg/M
3
as total dust
15 mppcf or 5 mg/M
3
as respirable fraction
These products are considered to be essentially non-toxic. Testing of aqueous
extracts in rats showed the acute oral LD
50
was greater than 15,000 mg/Kg.
These products are not considered primary skin irritants as indicated by laboratory
testing. Rubbing the product on the skin may cause mechanical irritation. Skin
absorption is not expected to be significant under normal use of product. No special
treatment is required for exposure.
These products are not considered to eye irritants via standard laboratory testing
procedures. Dusts may cause mechanical irritation. Should material get in the eyes,
open the eyelids and hold back while flushing with water for at least 15 minutes
and seek medical attention. Approved safety glasses/eye protection is
recommended when cutting the products.
