Foam Glossary

Polymer GEL – A gel product that reduces pressure, shear forces and heat build-up. Provides a cool seating surface. Ideal for use in
bony high pressure areas.

SunMate^®   - A memory foam with slow recovery. Matches the contour of the body and helps reduce sitting fatigue through
uniform pressure distribution. The open cell structure maximizes airflow to help reduce heat build up. Medium density
recommended for seat applications and Soft density recommended for backs.

Visco-Cel^® - A viscoelastic, energy absorbing memory foam with inherent memory to allow the material to rebound to its original
thickness/shape. Excellent impact absorption and low compression set. Its open-cell structure maximizes airflow, which helps to
reduce heat/moisture build-up.

VARILITE^® Air-Foam Floatation - Insert allows for simple adjustments to be made using two-way air valve(s) that releases air out
of the cushion to immerse the user in the foam. Providing superior pressure distribution, ideal for pelvic obliquities and other
asymmetries.

Etha-Foam – A high density foam used to build up contours, anti-thrust and abductors / adductors.

High Resilient (HR) Foam – Also known as polyurethane or “Poly” foam".  Low density, closed cell foam – Standard foam. Available in
1 pound “Soft Poly” foam or 2.5 pound “Medium Poly”


Upholstery Glossary

Dartex (Standard) - A polyurethane coated fabric that is waterproof, breathable and two-way stretch. It is anti-bacterial and antifungal.

Dartex (Reversed) - A polyurethane coated smooth surface that can be easily wiped clean. Waterproof, breathable and has two way
stretch. It is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.

Air-Mesh - A highly porous material, ideal as a contact surface material when breathability is necessary.  This material does not have a protective liner.

Darlex - A omni-directional knit laminate material. It is made of two layers of spandex type material fused together with a thin
layer of rubber in-between.

Rubatex - A two-way stretch material, laminated to a very thin layer of neoprene with a knit fabric top. Waterproof and breathable.

Vinyl/Naugahyde - A vinyl coated fabric with little stretch and is not considered waterproof or breathable. Durable, easy to wipe
clean surface is mildew and bacteria resistant.

Cordura - A textured, high durability nylon material.

Naugaform - A thick vinyl type material that can be carefully heated and stretched. Ideal for “Vacuum-Formed” molded seating
systems.

Incontinent Inner-Liner - This is available as a secondary zippered inner-liner cover only. A polyurethane coated smooth surface
that can easily be wiped clean. Waterproof, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.

Neoprene - Is a synthetic rubber material designed to act fl exibly, durably, and to resist breakdown by water. It is form fitting and
resilient. Comes with a U-Loop style fi nish which is Hook Velcro sensitive
