ABSTRACT

Chem-Trend has recently made significant advances in the development of innovative polymers for high resilience molded flexible foam both automotive and non-automotive.

In general mold release is a significant factor in the ease of processing, skin formation and overall appearance of molded flexible foam. As the foam manufacturers are continually driven to reduce density while improving foam durability properties, the release agent’s performance becomes more critical. These novel polymers have been uniquely formulated to offer a high degree of processing flexibility while maintaining outstanding foam aesthetics. These release agents are designed to promote foam bondabilty as well as reduced mold build-up.

All of these proprietary polymer blends of parting agents are water based, environmentally friendly and non- VOC. Chem-Trend will cover in the poster, the detailed performance of various families of innovative polymers that are particularly suitable for the automotive and furniture industries.
