RR

Often used for fettling these coarse foams do not absorb water and as a consequence give off water to the ware that will leave slurry marks. They are therefore , often used in combination with a sponging foam for finishing off ;or processes where there are twin stations for fettling and sponging Offered in a range of porosity grades with finer porosities being suitable for fine fettling

RH

RH, often reffered to as honeycomb, was developed to imitate the “fine faced natural sponge” where the fine texture was required for fine finishing. The synthetic sponge was favourable to the natural product. since it offered better durability,consistency and a lower cost. the density and porosity of the foam are important attributes for many customers. Higher density grades are more hard wearing and have become the standard for ceramic applications particularly diddlers, hand, machine sponges
