Integral skin PU foam moulding
gives you a component with a tough, flexible skin that is
moulded over a softer foam core, this type of PU foam moulding
is ideal for many applications including handles and grab-bars,
steering wheels, armrests, headrests, seats, gearshift knobs,
toys, decorative trim and furniture components.
Integral skin polyurethane
moulded foam has a moulded, flexible, tear-resistant outer skin. This
skin is formed during the moulding process and protects a micro
cellular foam core which can have a soft flexible core with a
predefined hardness.
Integral skin parts can be colour matched
and with pigment and mould painting your parts will be the same
colour throughout, the mould tooling can also be chemically
etched with various patterns to give texturing or
graphics on the skin surface giving the appearance for example of
a leather cover, inserts can be also moulded into the integral
skin components.
Integral skin
parts can also be flame retardant if required.
