    AM (american buffing) seem to offer a "pre polymer" foam pad in the white polishing pad lineup....

    I don't recall any others listed by DM...

    [How they work: The reticulated polyester foams' affect varies with pore size, measured in pores per inch (ppi). Their open-cell construction allows for fluids to permeate the pad to a greater degree than closed-cell materials, such as prepolymer foams, and their low tensile strength allows them to "mold" around contours more easily.]3M

    Prepolymer sounds like a new marketing term for non- reticulated foam

    I know that Amercian buffing have added "prepolymer" to their orange foam but it´s till the old regular orange european foam. It sounds like a buzz word.
