MATERIAL DEFINITION

Paper fiber meets foam structure

Cellufoam is not the name of one finished product. It is a technology platform for developing structures around different product geometries and uses.

Public information is limited to the material and process concept, the application review scope and the partnership model.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN

Hard Zone and Soft Zone
within one structure

Hard and Soft Zones can be formed within one molded part to support product-specific structural design.

Application feasibility depends on product geometry, structure and manufacturing conditions.

HARD ZONEDense support structure

SOFT ZONEPorous cushioning structure

ONE MOLDED STRUCTURESupport and cushioning designed together around product geometry

STRUCTURAL PRINCIPLE

Redefining the function
of 3D paper structures

Conventional pulp molding creates structure through curved lines and surfaces, while Cellufoam uses air-holding thickness and volume.

This concept diagram uses the same form to explain structural principles. It does not represent an actual application product or performance result.

Paper based

Paper fiber is the starting point for structural formation.

Geometry led

Structures are designed around product geometry and use.

Validation led

Disclosure follows application-specific development and validation.
