What is PU Foam?
Polyurethane Foam (PU Foam) is a versatile polymer produced by mixing two main liquid components — Polyol (Part B) and Isocyanate (Part A).
When mixed together, these components react chemically to form foam, which expands and hardens into a lightweight, flexible, or rigid material — depending on formulation and use.
PU foam is highly valued for its:
- Thermal insulation
- Cushioning ability
- Sound absorption
- Lightweight and durable nature
Resistance to moisture and chemicals

PU Foam System (Part A & B)
We supply PU Foam Chemicals as two-part systems — Polyol (B) and Isocyanate (A) — for use in foam production or spraying.
| Component | Function | Appearance |
|---|---|---|
| Part A – Isocyanate | Reacts with Polyol to form foam | Brownish liquid |
| Part B – Polyol | Catalyst and foam-forming agent | Creamy white liquid |
When mixed, the two components expand 20–40 times their liquid volume to create a dense, uniform foam suitable for various industrial applications.
Applications of PU Foam in Kenya
- Building and Roof Insulation
PU foam provides superior thermal insulation for roofs, walls, and ceilings, minimizing energy loss in buildings.
- Cold Room Construction
Used in cold storage facilities for fruit, vegetables, meat, and pharmaceuticals due to its excellent thermal resistance.
- Furniture and Mattress Production
Flexible PU foam is the main material for sofas, cushions, and mattresses, offering comfort and durability.
- Automotive Industry
Used in car seats, dashboards, headrests, and door panels for cushioning and vibration control.
- Industrial Insulation
Rigid PU foam is ideal for tanks, pipes, boilers, and walls, ensuring minimal energy loss.
- Packaging Industry
Lightweight PU foam sheets are used to protect fragile goods during transport and storage.
