Pluracol® Polyols
Pluracel Vx™ foam made from Pluracol® materials,
is slab formulation technology that produces variable recovery rate urethane flexible foam.
This material is designed to reduce pressure and cradle the body to provide superior comfort
qualities. Pluracel Vx™ foam can be easily varied to provide property and “feel” characteristics
to meet a wide range of applications. Foam buns cure quickly and do not need crushing. Pluracel Vx™
foam helps make more comfortable, more luxurious cushioning.™
BASF utilizes Dynamic Mechanical Analysis to target the properties and features of Pluracel Vx™
foam. With this tool, Pluracel Vx™ foam formulations can be adjusted to move the glass transition
temperature, and target a specific temperature range for visco-elasticity. Also, we analyze the
height and breadth of the curve as a
means of targeting recovery rates and pressure relief qualities. Pluracel Vx™ foam represents
state-of-the-art slow recovery foam technology targeted at the luxury bedding and specialty cushioning
segments. BASF helps make the processing easier and helps correctly target properties in the manufacture
of visco-elastic foams. BASF makes slow recovery foams better.
