Industrial
Main Application
PVA foam with air-foaming technology features an open-cell and starch-free structure. Its pores and softness can be adjusted according to the application's requirements. Leveraging over 30 years of expertise in ultra-clean processing, Cenefom’s products are well-suited for applications that need effective cleaning in a cleanroom setting and other environments requiring high-levels of cleanliness.
PVA foam excels in liquid absorption, with over 90% porosity and the ability to absorb 3 to 20 times its weight in liquid.
The foam’s hydrophilic and capillary properties ensure rapid, even distribution of liquids, enhancing absorption and preventing localized buildup.
PVA foam provides a favorable environment to support biological growth and activity:
・Provides an attachment surface: The porous structure of foam allows for easy attachment and fixation, crucial for bioengineering, bioprocessing, and bioreactor applications.
・Protects and maintains biological activity: Foam shields organisms from environmental factors such as temperature changes, mechanical stress, or chemical agents, while preserving the activity and functioning of the organism to ensure long-term stability.
・Enhances mass transfer: The porous structure of foam improves the efficiency of solute-solvent exchanges, which is important for biodegradation efficiency and effectiveness.
・Offers flexibility: Customizable, including pore size and material selection, to meet specific needs of biotechnology and industrial applications.
PVA foam’s rapid liquid absorption and ability to maintain a flexible structure make it ideal for scratch-free cleaning in industrial applications, where it helps create particle-free surfaces and prevents contamination-related defects.
