Focussed on comfort
Polyether flexible foams are elastic PU foams with open pores. Thanks to their excellent padding properties they are used in different applications. The foam systems have good elastic properties and high recoverability and thus ensure a perfect seating, lying and walking comfort.
Above that, the foam structure with its open pores enables very good acoustic performance: Sound absorption and sound insulation can be increased by the use of fillers and composite solutions with other (PU) materials. Comfort in terms of high-quality acoustic solutions - another broad field of puroflex® solutions.
