Driving PU-system innovations
Molded Foam
Polyurethane is the ideal solution for the automotive industry, from passenger cars through to commercial, agricultural and recreational vehicles. PU-systems can be used to produce various parts for any kind of vehicle, covering both the interior and exterior. The variety of automotive applications for polyurethane is large, as it offers many unique benefits when compared to alternative materials. PU properties can also be customised to the needs of any vehicle part.
Polyurethane also allows complex, three-dimensional parts to be created with no limits to size. Multiple functions are also possible during a one-step production process. Further options are also possible, such as composite materials with integrated reinforcement fibres, or hybrid structures, and combining polyurethane with other materials – the options are limitless. Ease of use, speed, and low-cost tool manufacturing creates further value, especially when prototyping or producing low-volume series.

Automotive Interior
Vehicle interior design is a major factor in terms of consumers’ purchasing decisions. This is exactly where PU-systems can help. Ranging from a soft touch for increased comfort to insulation, from protective energy absorption for passenger protection to a high-end appearance, polyurethane can make nearly anything possible. Combining functional additives, polyurethane can also achieve unrivalled properties that can be utilised in almost every area of automotive interior design.

Automotive Seating
When developing seat cushions, flexibility isn’t limited to the adjustable properties of the foam. Flexibility to achieve varying properties within one part is also particularly important. This is where Pearl Polyurethane can help. Our flexible, comfortable and durable PU-solutions for automotive seating can be applied in most aspects of automotive manufacturing, ranging from arm rests and seat cushions to headrests and lumbar support components.
Automotive Exterior
Almost any shape is possible with compact and reinforced polyurethane. Some common automotive applications are bumpers, spoilers, or fenders – even main body frame components for caravans or campervans are possible. Polyurethane is also an effective core material for large composite products such as roof modules for commercial vehicles. When combined with in-mould-coating, PU can be a cost-effective way to produce finished body parts in a one step process. Contact us for more information to bring your new designs to life.
