Polyurethanes

Bayer is one of the world's largest suppliers of polyurethane raw materials used to manufacture polyurethane foam cushioning for bedding and furniture. Bayer products are used by some of the world's largest and best-known producers of flexible slabstock polyurethane foam and flexible molded polyurethane foam.

As the supplier of the polyurethane raw materials that "foamers" process into flexible foam, Bayer offers a wide range of isocyanates and polyols. Most notably, Bayer's broad range of polyether polyol products and technologies assures that the right raw materials are available to meet each manufacturer's needs for economics and finished foam properties. This includes Bayer's patented Impact™ catalyst technology, which yields polyether polyols with very low levels of monol content.

Polyurethane Foam Processing Machinery

When a special application or processing parameters are involved, Bayer also offers formulation and processing expertise. For example, Bayer has assisted makers of viscoelastic polyurethane foam products with raw material selection and chemistry formulation. And through its Hennecke Machinery unit, Bayer is able to leverage its expertise in processing technologies - such as carbon dioxide blowing agents - and machinery.
