What’s in Foam?
The origin story of foam starts millions of years ago. Tiny organisms were buried under layers of sediment, compressed over time, and eventually became crude oil — a mixture of hydrocarbons including methane and benzene. A small fraction of that petroleum gets refined into the two chemicals that make foam: diisocyanates and polyols. Watch the video above for the full origin arc, and see the complete foam safety guide including certifications, latex alternatives, EVA vs. TPU, and more, on the foam guide.
