Trelleborg Sealing Solutions pioneers polyurethane foam in racing headrests

At present, Trelleborg has sponsored more than 50 Formula Racing teams, of which the International Automobile Federation (FIA) designated 19 countries for automotive headrest protection materials provided by Trelleborg. This is a high-performance open-cell polyurethane foam with a unique combination of properties, suitable for high-energy absorption applications, capable of absorbing and dissipating shocks to ensure driver safety.

Polyurethane rigid foam is made of isocyanate and polyether as main raw materials. It is polymerized by high-pressure spraying and on-site foaming under the action of various auxiliary agents such as foaming agents, catalysts, and flame retardants. Thing. There are two types of polyurethane foam: soft foam and rigid foam. Soft bubbles have an open-cell structure and hard bubbles have a closed-cell structure; soft bubbles are classified into crusted and non-crusted. The main function of polyurethane soft foam is cushioning. Polyurethane flexible foam is commonly used in sofa furniture, pillows, cushions, toys, clothing and sound insulation linings. Rigid polyurethane foam is mainly used in building exterior wall insulation, roof waterproofing and insulation integration, cold storage insulation, pipe insulation materials, building boards, refrigerated trucks and cold storage insulation materials.
