The mechanical shock absorbability of phenolic foam made from reagent grade chemicals, specified in US Atomic Energy Commission (Department of Energy) Material and Equipment Specification SP-9 is compared to that of foam made from substituted commercial grade chemicals. The testing reported herein compares mechanical properties of the foams. The test results demonstrate the equivalence in the shock absorbability of the two foam types.
