HyPUR-cel® V12200
HyPUR-cel® V12200 is a viscoelastic open cell polyurethane foam with a typical density of 12 pcf and a 25% CFD of 3.5 psi (2 – 6 psi tolerance) per ASTM D3574. The material delivers very low resilience of 5% with 190% elongation and an exceptionally low compression set of 0.1% per D1056, operating across a service temperature range of -40°F to 250°F. V12200 is thermoformable and well suited for demanding body-contact cushioning, impact protection, and pressure management applications requiring slow force recovery and exceptional long-term shape stability at mid-range density.

HyPUR-cel® V12200 is a mid-density viscoelastic open cell polyurethane foam engineered for demanding body-contact cushioning, impact protection, and pressure management applications that require both slow force recovery and the structural performance of a 12 pcf foam. Positioned above V10150 and below V15300 in the CFD-rated V-series, V12200 delivers a 25% CFD of 3.5 psi for controlled deflection under load while preserving the conformable, slow-recovery character of the HyPUR-cel viscoelastic line.
The foam exhibits 190% elongation for conformable fit over complex geometries and an exceptionally low compression set of 0.1% per ASTM D1056, supporting outstanding long-term shape stability. The open cell structure allows air and moisture passage, and V12200 is thermoformable for custom contoured part production while remaining dimensionally stable across a service temperature range of -40°F to 250°F. The material is available with adhesives, laminated films, fabrics, and custom coatings.
What differentiates V12200 from other CFD-rated HyPUR-cel grades?
V12200 is a 12 pcf mid-density viscoelastic foam that sits between V10150 (10 pcf, 2.8 psi CFD) and V15300 (15 pcf, 5.6 psi CFD) in the CFD-rated V-series. Its 3.5 psi 25% CFD delivers greater load-bearing capacity than V10150 while preserving the slow force recovery (5% resilience) and exceptional shape retention (0.1% compression set per D1056) that define the line.
Why is compression set critical for viscoelastic cushioning foams?
Compression set measures the permanent thickness loss a foam retains after extended compression — it is the primary indicator of whether a cushion will continue to function as designed over its service life. V12200's 0.1% compression set per ASTM D1056 is exceptionally low and reflects outstanding long-term shape stability, which is particularly important in mid-density applications where the foam must sustain higher loads without degrading.
What is the service temperature range for V12200?
-40°F to 250°F.
Is V12200 suitable for regulated environments?
No compliance standards are specified on the manufacturer's TDS for V12200. End users requiring flammability, medical, automotive, or other regulatory qualification should request supporting documentation from H-O Products for the specific application.
How should V12200 be specified?
Specify grade (V12200), thickness, compliance requirements, dimensional tolerances, and finished format.
