BayOne Urethane Systems Develops Renewable Resource HR Flexible Foam for Molding Applications

https://www.chemnet.com   Aug 05,2010
Recognizing market interest in products containing renewable resource content, BayOne Urethane Systems LLC, a joint venture between Bayer MaterialScience LLC and PolyOne, has followed up on its successful Bayfit® 500 flexible foam with the introduction of Bayfit® natural oil polyol (NOP) 633 High-Resiliency Moldable Flexible Foam made with 16 percent renewable resource content. NOPs are one of the building blocks of the Bayer MaterialScience LLC sustainability program, a commitment to innovation, product stewardship, excellence in corporate management, social responsibility and respect for the environment.



"We understand the reality of the marketplace our customers are in – one that places a high value on sustainable products and renewable resources," said Mark Vanover, marketing manager, BayOne Urethane Systems. "We've delivered an excellent alternative to standard high-resiliency foams that helps protect the environment."


Bayfit 633 is 100 percent water-blown and can be molded to a density of 3.0-3.4 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) and is now commercially available. Bayfit 633 also meets California (CAL) 117 fire code standards for flammability.



Developed primarily for use in seating applications (office, recreation, transportation, etc), this "green" system has physical properties very similar to standard HR foams. Additionally, Bayfit NOP 633 has excellent flow properties, which can result in customers using a smaller amount of material in the mold, further increasing efficiency.
