Integral Skin Armrests
Integral skin armrests are a type of armrest commonly used in furniture, automotive and aerospace industries. The term “integral skin” refers to the manufacturing process in which the outer skin and inner foam of the armrest are formed simultaneously, creating a durable and seamless product.
The integral skin armrests are made by pouring a liquid mixture of polyurethane foam and a catalyst into a mold. The mold is designed with a textured surface that creates a skin layer on the outer surface of the armrest. As the foam expands and hardens, it adheres to the skin layer, forming a single, solid piece.
Integral skin armrests are known for their durability, as the skin layer provides a protective coating that resists wear and tear. They also offer a comfortable grip, as the foam conforms to the shape of the user’s arm.
Overall, integral skin armrests are a popular choice for a wide range of applications due to their combination of strength, comfort, and aesthetic appeal.
SMPUFOAM
Has a 25+ years of experience in polyurethane foam products technology, we produce highly engineered polyurethane molded parts for a variety of industrial markets including self-skinning and small pour molded polyurethane components, medical, pillows, cushions, footwear, impact protection, sporting goods and toys.
One of the most obvious advantages of polyurethane is its versatility. It is a material that, by varying the formulation of the components, can take on very different physical characteristics, allowing in any case a freedom to design the polyurethane foam products almost without limits.
