Introducing Ultracel™ U3000 Technology for Flexible Polyurethane Foam

girl jumping on bedUltracel™ U3000 polyurethane foam technology from Bayer MaterialScience is the latest development for the production of high-support (HS) and high-resilience (HR) flexible slabstock polyurethane foam. Flexible polyurethane foam made with Ultracel U3000 technology features excellent comfort and durability and good physical properties. The primary applications of foam produced with Ultracel U3000 technology are in cushioning for premium quality furniture and mattresses.

Ultracel U3000 high-resilience polyol is an innovative polyether polyol for the manufacture of flexible slabstock polyurethane foam with a comfortable balance of surface softness and deep-down firmness. It offers an improvement over the industry-leading technology of Ultracel U2000 polyol from Bayer.

Ultracel Technology Makes the Best Foam Better

Laboratory tests and real-life use confirm that high-density, conventional polyurethane foam is durable, versatile and, best of all, comfortable. Now Ultracel U3000 technology helps achieve a significant advancement over or beyond the performance of conventional polyurethane foam.

Flexible polyurethane foam incorporating Ultracel U3000 technology:

  • can be manufactured cost-effectively to a wide range of firmness levels
  • maintains its firmness better than conventional polyurethane foams at equivalent densities
  • returns more quickly to its original shape after short-term compressions under use conditions
  • achieves a support factor of 2.5, compared to just 2.0 for most better quality conventional foams
  • outperforms conventional foams of similar densities because changes in density have less effect on physical properties and performance

Comfort and Quality Consumers Can See – and Feel

They can feel the difference and appreciate quality cushioning in a chair or mattress immediately. Furniture and bedding featuring Ultracel U3000 technology help sell themselves with greater comfort, support and visual appeal.

 

Lab testing proves that flexible polyurethane foam with     Ultracel U3000 technology will show less unsightly flattening, dishing and sagging. It will retain its shape and firmness better and be less likely to form unsightly body impressions. Such longevity and performance can add years of customer satisfaction to furnishings and mattresses.
