PF-091 UL94 HF-1 is a flame-retardant, sound-absorptive material designed specifically for high-performance OEM applications. An alternative to UL94 HF-1 foam, PF-091 is made from a non-woven, polyester fiber blend and excels in high-stress environments such as heavy equipment, HVAC, automotive, and other industries demanding a durable, compliant acoustic solution. The material is engineered to perform up to 350 °F and resists UV, water, fuels, and oils, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional polyurethane foam without compromising on safety or performance.
