Most foam materials are very hydroscopic and absorbent. When our hydrophobic liquid surface treatment is applied to most foam materials, the foam becomes extremely hydrophobic. Below is an image of our treatment on medical grade polyurethane foam.

Though our tests indicate this treatment does not work well on natural materials like wood and cotton, but this treatment performs great on synthetic fibers and fabrics.
