Have you ever wondered why we call a piece of foam rubber a sponge? Possibly because in the Middle Ages the beauties took with them in the bath a true sea sponge caught in the waters of the Mediterranean. Utensils with such sponges were not yet washed, for this purpose served as rags.

The foam sponge in a more or less familiar form appeared to us almost by accident. In 1937. Otto Bayer started producing polyurethane. This material has proven to be extremely promising and widely used. In 1941, during another experiment to produce a new type of polyurethane, German scientists made "defective material" - the polyurethane came out defective, full of air bubbles, porous. Only 13 years after this experiment did humanity realize the potential and benefits of such porous material, in particular, it began to produce sponges.
