Main benefits of product application:

  • dry matter content (20%),
  • possibility of manufacturing high resilience (HR) foams with a density of between 25 and 60 kg/m3,
  • hardness of HR and CMHR foams in the range of 1.5 to 4.5 kPa, depending on the density of the foam,
  • CMHR flame retardant foams with reduced flame retardant content (due to a different type of dry matter, without styrene-acrylonitrile).

Mechanical properties of foams produced with OptiResil HR:

  • factor SAG (up to 3.3 – comparable to latex mattresses) and 20-30% higher than foams produced on the basis of traditional HR technology,
  • very high resilience of the foam, up to 70%, compared to standard HR solutions which have a resilience of 50-60%,
  • possibility of obtaining a CMHR foam meeting the CAL TB 133, BS5852 and CRIB 5 flammability criteria, produced only using liquid flame retardant without the need to use melamine which degrades the mechanical properties foam,
  • emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC) lower than 75% compared to SAN polyols:
    does not contain styrene monomer,
    does not contain acrylonitrile monomer,
  • resistance of the foam obtained over time:
    loss of hardness, density and resilience over time compared to available HR technologies.

More details

OptiResil HR is a polymer dispersion in reactive, white polyether polyol designed for the production of high quality high resilience (HR) and flame retardant (CMHR) foams. It significantly increases the hardness of the material without the need for styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) polyols. Thanks to this, the volatile organic compound (VOC) content is lower, while maintaining significantly improved fire resistance. It contains antioxidants (excluding BHT). It has a hydroxyl number between 49 and 56 mgKOH /g and a dynamic viscosity between 3,500 and 5,500 mPas at room temperature. 25°C.

OptiResil HR is used for the production of CMHR flame retardant foams (in order to obtain high resilience and at the same time reduced content of flame retardants), high quality high resilience (HR) foams. Such foams emit fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and better long-term physical and mechanical properties compared to commonly available HR solutions. High resilience (HR) foams and CMHR flame retardant foams can only be produced when liquid flame retardants are used (bypassing melamine).

OptiResil HR polyol helps increase production, which is manifested by:

  • shape of foam block – less production waste,
  • no spread of density and hardness in a foam block,
  • good initial strength allowing a block of foam to be handled directly after foaming.

Most popular applications of OptiResil HR:

  • foams and CMHR flame retardant foams,
  • foams as a basis for the production of HR mattresses and high resilience padding,
  • foams used in seats in the automotive industry.

Properties and applications

  • production of high-resilience foams (HR) and high-quality flame-retardant foams (CMHR),
  • production of soft foams which are a basis for the production of HR mattresses and high resilience furnishings used in the furniture industry,
  • production of molded foams used in seats in the automotive industry.
