Automotive Manufacturers

Faced with an increasingly competitive market, automotive manufacturers need to focus on ways to differentiate their vehicles, meet environmental standards and continually enhance their design capabilities. Foams made with VORANOL™ VORACTIV™ polyols from Dow can help you meet these challenges.

Foams made with Dow VORANOL VORACTIV provide the following benefits:

Due to excellent foam flowability, more complex parts can be designed
Compared to other low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emission foam types, VORANOL VORACTIV polyols offer improved compression-set properties, improving how well foam will return to its original shape after it has been compressed
Greater resistance to humid conditions leading to improved product performance over time.
Can reduce VOC emissions from molded foams by as much as 50%.

The above attributes allow more parts to be molded in a consistent manner, improving manufacturing quality and maintaining customer satisfaction and comfort.

In addition, consumers continue to raise the bar on their aesthetic expectations of vehicles. Amine emissions from the polyurethane foam used in the automotive interior, can bring along with it a host of problems, including:

Windshield fogging
PVC staining
Polycarbonate degradation

See how VORANOL VORACTIV can help improve foam consistency, while lowering odors due to amines and reducing fogging and staining.
