Polyurethane & Foam

PRODUCT CRAFT

Polyurethane foam is placed in a vessel where a vacuum is created and filled with an explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gases. When the proper combination is obtained, an ignition source is activated which causes a flame to pass through the foam at subsonic speed, burning the polyurethane foam membranes. The thermal reticulation process also yields windowless reticulated polyurethane foam, but thermally reticulated foam features a flame-polished surface on its struts.

The process can be performed on all three ploy-based polyurethane foams (Ether, Ester and Polymer Polyol). Thermally reticulated foam yields slightly lower pressure drop values for a given airflow than chemically quenched foam.

CAPABILITIES

Integral skin PU foam moulding gives you a component with a tough, flexible skin that is moulded over a softer foam core, this type of PU foam moulding is ideal for many applications including handles and grab-bars, steering wheels, armrests, headrests, seats, gearshift knobs, toys, decorative trim and furniture components.

Integral skin polyurethane moulded foam has a moulded, flexible, tear-resistant outer skin. This skin is formed during the moulding process and protects a microcellular foam core which can have a soft flexible core with a predefined hardness.

Integral skin parts can be colour matched and with pigment and mould painting your parts will be the same colour throughout, the moulded skin can also be chemically etched with various patterns to give texturing or graphics on the skin surface, giving the appearance for example of a leather cover, inserts can also be moulded into the integral skin components.

Integral skin parts can also be flame retardant, if so required.
