Abstract
In this study rigid polyurethane foams (R-PUF) were chosen as a shock absorbing material and availability of the impact limiter using R-PUF was investigated by experiments. Results obtained by drop tests and fire resistant tests suggested that R-PUF worked well as a shock absorbing material, and would be useful for impact limiters of heavy casks.
