Polyether foams of polyurethane can be manufactured in a wide variety of hardnesses and densities to satisfy the particular requirements.... The biggest advantages of polyether foam as far as mattress production is concerned are the material' s outstanding air permeability and the fact that the level of hardness can be set to the customer's requirements. 1, record 2, English, - polyether%20foam

A urethane is formed from the reaction of an isocyanate with an alcohol. In general, polyurethanes are made using a diisocyanate, a low molecular weight diol(thermoplastic) and/or triol(cross-linked), and a polyether glycol or a polyester glycol. If the reagents are difunctional, a non cross-linked thermoplastic polyurethane will be formed; if the functionality of at least one of the reagents is greater than two, a cross-linked or three dimensional network will form. Cross-linked polyurethanes exhibit less mechanical creep than non cross-linked polyurethanes. The rubbery modulus of polyurethanes increases as the level of cross-linking is increased. Polyurethanes are diblock copolymers. They consist of hard segments(isocyanate and the chain extender rich areas) that act as physical crosslinks, and soft segments(polyether or polyester glycol rich areas). 3, record 3, English, - three%20dimensional%20network
