Open Cell Polyurethane & Polyether Foams

Lightweight, flexible, and precise foam solutions for demanding applications
At Kewell Converters, we specialise in the foam conversion of high-performance polyurethane (PU) and polyether foams—materials known for their versatility, open-cell structure, and reliability in critical applications. Whether you need foam for filtration, acoustic dampening, complex gaskets, or custom packaging, we offer engineered solutions that meet the high standards of military, defence, aerospace and advanced industrial sectors.

What makes our polyurethane & polyether foams different?
Our open-cell polyurethane and polyether foams are engineered for performance where flexibility, airflow, and weight-saving are essential.
- Naturally porous for excellent airflow, sound absorption, and filtration
- Lightweight and flexible, ideal for cushioning and adaptable applications
- Durable and non-abrasive, with custom options like our Richpak® foam series
- Environmentally friendly, made without CFCs or HCFCs
These materials are selected for their ability to perform under pressure, resist wear, and deliver comfort or technical precision—tailored exactly to your needs.
Typical applications & industry use cases
Kewell Converters supplies engineered foam parts and components used in sectors where consistency and high performance are non-negotiable.
