Density is weight divided by volume. Measure the weight (with a scale), calculate the volume (which is easy to do if the foam is rectangular in shape - you might even want to cut out a rectangular piece, if your foam has an irregular shape), and divide the weight by the volume.

What is the representative peak heat release rate for a sofa made of polyurethane foam is approximately?

The representative peak heat release rate for a sofa made of polyurethane foam is approximately 300 to 400 kW/m². This value can vary based on factors such as the specific formulation of the foam and the presence of other materials in the sofa's construction. Polyurethane foam is known for its high flammability, which contributes to its significant heat release during combustion.


Where could one find some Polyurethane Foam Insulation?

Polyurethane foam insulation is the most popular insulation on the market today. It is easily installed, it is sprayed into the walls where it coats and hardens. All home improvement stores carry it.


What is the peak heat release for a sofa made of polyurethane foam?

The peak heat release for a sofa made of polyurethane foam typically ranges from 500 to 1,000 kW/m², depending on the specific formulation and construction of the foam. This high heat release rate can pose significant fire hazards, as polyurethane foam can ignite quickly and contribute to rapid fire spread. Fire safety standards and treatments are crucial in mitigating these risks in upholstered furniture.


Can you spray paint polyurethane foam?

It is not recommended to spray paint polyurethane foam directly as the chemicals in the spray paint can cause the foam to deteriorate or melt. It is better to use a primer specifically designed for foam surfaces before painting.
