Polyurethane Foam Testing
A contractor applies spray polyurethane foam (SPU) in the crack between cinder blocks in a wall. This foam would have been reviewed with polyurethane foam testing.

Polyurethane Foam Testing

Applied Technical Services conducts polyurethane foam testing in our polymer lab. Polyurethane (PU) foam is a lightweight and durable polymer with applications in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, shipping, and construction. PU foam frequently appears in the following products:
  • Insulation
  • Carpet underlay
  • Cushions
  • Mattresses
  • Bedding
  • Footwear
  • Packaging foam
  • Automotive seats
  • Vehicle headrests
Polyurethane foams have two main types: rigid polyurethane foam and flexible polyurethane foam (FPF). Rigid foams are increasingly popular thermal insulators and sound absorbers in buildings and vehicles.
Why Do You Need Polyurethane Testing?
The ATS polymer lab is A2LA-accredited in chemical, mechanical, and electrical testing. Our experienced team of chemists, technicians, and engineers provides services with valuable insight. Clients frequently consult third-party labs such as ATS for an unbiased look at the product throughout the development process for purposes including:
  • Design comparison
  • Performance testing
  • Quality control
  • Regulatory compliance
Polyurethane Foam Material Testing

The ATS material testing lab accepts shipments of foam samples for materials testing. Our experts test foam behavior in controlled environments to ensure a sample withstands extreme conditions. ATS is qualified to perform environmental tests such as:

  • Flammability Testing
  • Fog Testing
  • Odor Testing
  • Solar/Sunlight Testing
Our polymer experts conduct mechanical tests to evaluate how the foam performs when subjected to the intended forces and loads. The mechanical tests ATS regularly provides include:
  • Compression Testing
  • Density Testing
  • Fatigue Testing
  • Hardness Testing
  • Shear Strength Testing
  • Tear Resistance Testing
  • Tensile Testing

ATS also offers automotive interior testing on polyurethane upholstery, sealants, and insulation for regulatory compliance, safety, and passenger comfort.

Foam Testing Standards

The ATS polymer lab follows the testing procedures specified in national and international standards:
