Foam

Polyurethane foam is a versatile material used by hobbyists, modellers, and the construction industry. It can be used for filling in empty spaces or carved into different shapes. As one of the top polyurethane foam resin suppliers in Australia and New Zealand, Barnes Products has a range of options to suit your needs. 

Hard and soft polyurethane foam

Barnes Products stocks both rigid and flexible polyurethane foam. Which one you choose will come down to the needs of the project you are working on:

• Rigid foam is often used in modelling to form hard, lightweight pieces that can be sanded, cut and textured. Sheets of it can be cut down to make hills or cliffs for landscape models, dioramas or poured into a mould to cast specific pieces.
• Flexible foam is often found around the house in seats and pillows to offer comfort, but it can be used for modelling. Props made of flexible foam are perfect to prevent children from hurting themselves.

FAQs 

What is polyurethane foam used for?

Polyurethane foam has a variety of uses for hobbyists and modellers. It can be poured into containers to add strength while keeping the piece lightweight, or it can be cast, cut, sanded, and painted to create extremely detailed but still lightweight costume props. Flexible foam can be used for soft, child-safe props or to make cushioning for furniture or pillows.

How strong is polyurethane foam?

Polyurethane foam is reasonably strong. However, it is generally not used for props or models that will see heavy use. If strength is a concern, choose more durable high-density foam. In general, flexible foam is the least durable but our self-skinning option cures with a smooth surface that is less likely to get snagged or torn.
