Dry Flow | With the Australian climate lending itself to outdoor living, it only makes sense that you would want to be as comfortable outdoors as you are indoors. With that in mind, Dunlop Foams has released a range of "OUTDOOR" use foams suitable for applications such as: Alfresco dining furniture, patio furniture, poolside furniture, leisure boat furniture etc. These foams offer a distinct advantage over conventional foam grades in outdoor use. These outdoor grades are often referred to as "RETICULATED" foams due to their key feature of being able to reticulate or drain away the water that it will come in contact with. When used in conjunction with appropriate fabrics such as outdoor, open weave materials, the cushions will dry out easily and effectively and thus provide comfort and superior performance for years to come. For more information or practical advice on applications of this exciting new range, please download the attached pdfs or contact your local Dunlop Foams State Representative.  Dry Flow | |  |
