Integral Skin Polyurethane Foam

An advanced solution that combines design, comfort and durability.

Integral Skin Polyurethane Foam represents a sophisticated formulation technology within foamed systems, characterised by the simultaneous formation of a low-density closed-cell structure in the core, and a compact, resistant outer skin generated directly on the mould surface during the foaming process.

This type of foam is obtained by injection moulding and does not require any subsequent coating or painting operations, as the surface skin forms naturally during the polyurethane reaction, ensuring high-quality aesthetics and excellent mechanical resistance. In addition, various density levels and different colour possibilities can be achieved by colouring the system both in the mass and within the mould.

The technical properties and benefits resulting from the combination of high-quality raw materials and the maximum precision of the foaming machines make Integral Polyurethane a premium material that gives the finished product exceptional characteristics.

  • High resistance to wear, tear and abrasion
  • Excellent elastic behaviour and long-term durability
  • Closed and continuous surface that is easy to clean and maintain
  • Ability to incorporate textures or surface finishes directly from the mould
  • Good resistance to hydrolysis, UV rays and chemicals (depending on the formulation)

Considerations in formulation design

The development of an efficient integral skin foam requires careful selection of components and strict control of both the process and its design and industrialisation. One particularly interesting characteristic of Integral Polyurethane, as well as Flexible Polyurethane, is the possibility of co-moulding inserts in wood, metal, plastic materials and/or rigid structural polyurethane, in order to give structure to the piece or expand the product design possibilities.
