In recent years, polyurethane foams have been able to produce load-bearing foams due to raw materials and formulation improvements, which have improved the comfort performance of automobiles. Most of the current production companies use cold molding processes, which have short production cycles and low production energy consumption. Has a high rebound resilience.
At present, mid-to-high-end cars like to assemble soft instrument panels. Soft instrument panels have a good resilience and feel by injecting polyurethane foam into the skin and skeleton materials. Polyurethane elastomers are used to make new suspension structure bumpers. Installed in the front of the car, it acts as a cushion to reduce damage during collision. The material used is both rigid and elastic. The airbag should have a certain strength, can adapt to higher impact speed, and also have a good accident in the event of an accident. Flexibility, the use of all-water polyurethane soft and hard foam combination to create airbags, is very important to protect the safety of car drivers.
