(formerly FoamPartner)
Integral Foam Systems – Bolasto®
High-class PUR Integral Foam System – tear-proof, highly elastic and durable
Our high-quality polyurethane foam systems are used in a variety of applications in the automotive, furniture and recreational industry as well as in medical engineering. The characteristic property of this type of polyurethane is a highly flexible and tear-resistant outer shell with a softer, cellular core. Different application areas mean a large number of specific requirements. As a highly flexible, solution-focused PUR system manufacturer, we offer you innovative integral foam systems like viscoelastic, highly elastic, anti-static or antimicrobial options. Our systems also fulfill specialized flame retardation requirements.
