It is a fundamental response of any polymeric foam material to undergo non-recoverable deformation following the application of a defined compressive strain, exacerbated by temperature and humidity. This process is commonly referred to as compression set. The ability to predict recovery after the application of a compressive strain is crucial to both the manufacturers and end users of foam materials. Specific compression set test procedures have been established to quantify the extent of non-recoverable deformation in specific foam types but to date no general predictive approach exists. In this work, compression set (fixed strain) tests were undertaken on a cellular polyamide-6 material at various temperatures (-5℃ to 90℃) and the foam recovery monitored over time periods in excess of those dictated by standard methods (ISO 1856 [1]). An empirical formula has been proposed to allow the prediction of recovery after compressive strain, covering recovery periods from 10 minutes to 24 hours (up to 168 hours at 23℃).
