Injected polyurethane foam, the brief it had to meet, and what it is made of

This news post explains Closed Cell Baffling, previously known as foam filled pontoons. Polyurethane liquid is injected into the airtight chambered life ring, where "within minutes the fluid expands, creating a closed-cell, water-tight foam" that becomes a noise reducing barrier between crew and ocean. Stabicraft says it set out to silence this issue in 2015, working with long serving supply partner FI Innovations, which also serves aerospace and medical clients. The brief required a material that was lightweight, non-reactive, moisture resistant, fire retardant and chemically stable under all temperatures. The polyol component uses recycled plastic bottles, and the product is CFC free, HCFC free, HFC free and contains no formaldehyde. Secondary benefits include cold climate insulation and added buoyancy protection.
