Flexible Polyurethane Foam is one of the most versatile materials available. It is a flexible and durable cellular polymer, permeable to air flow, and offers superior cushioning properties compared to any other synthetic or natural product. Its high versatility allows it to be used across multiple market sectors such as the apparel, furniture, mattress, packaging, educational toys, and footwear industries, among others.
Flexible polyurethane foam is also known as foam rubber or polyurethane foam. Its manufacture involves the use of polyols, diisocyanates (TDI 80/20), surfactants, catalysts, and special additives.
Polyether polyols are polymers formed through the reaction of organic oxides (such as propylene oxide) with an initiator that contains two or more active hydroxyl groups. They are an essential component in the manufacture of polyurethanes and are used in foams (mattresses, automotive seating), adhesives, sealants, and coatings. Their main advantages include greater hydrolysis stability and improved low-temperature flexibility compared to polyesters.
In our portfolio, we offer conventional polyol (54 to 58 OH) and polymeric polyol (28 to 32 OH), with a solids content of 45% and low viscosity.
Toluene diisocyanate (TDI 80/20) is a liquid organic compound, translucent and ranging from colorless to pale yellow, primarily used in the manufacture of polyurethanes. These, in turn, are used in products such as furniture foams and carpets, as well as in coatings, adhesives, and sealants.
Rigid foam is widely used in construction, transportation, and healthcare, driven by the demand for insulation and lightweight materials. The main types include polyurethane foams, which are versatile and durable, and are used in panels, footwear insoles, and even medical applications.
