Covestro Showcases its Flexible PU Foam Technology at K-2019 in Dusseldorf

At the K 2019 [http://www.k2019.covestro.com/], polyurethane pioneer Covestro [http://www.covestro.com] explains how rapidly this material has changed in recent decades thanks to continuous innovations developed in its own laboratories, in order to satisfy the ever changing requirements - and what plans the company has for flexible foams of tomorrow.

Polyurethane developers have done a great deal of work in order to gradually transform the first flexible PU foams into the high-end product that we know today. This is illustrated by an installation at Covestro’s trade fair stand (A 75 in Hall 6), which demonstrates the differences between early flexible foams and today’s top of the range products. And on the displays, the development looks ahead: the furniture of the future will be not only comfortable, but also recyclable and made partly from alternative raw materials.

Examples of previous "milestones" in the ongoing evolution of the flexible foams sector at Covestro are optimized raw materials, procedures for manufacturing highly elastic cold foam mattresses and the introduction of polyols for the production of viscoelastic foams, which further improve the distribution of forces exerted by a sleeping body.
