How do the new products help customers avoid handling amine catalysts?
• VORANOL VORACTIV polyols are manufactured using a proprietary Dow process that grafts the amine catalysts into the polyol, saving customers a formulating step. This process simplifies the processes for producing bedding, furnishings, automotive seating, noise, vibration and harshness parts, energy absorption parts, instrument panels, headliners, carpet backing, and packaging. By using VORANOL VORACTIV polyols, flexible or molded foam manufacturers can eliminate or minimize purchases, inventory, and storage of catalysts. At the same time, they can reduce pre-blending operations, waste water disposal, plant space and equipment replacement requirements associated with amine catalysts. It’s as simple as having one less raw material to deal with from an infrastructure, quality control and inventory standpoint.
