Polyurethane self-skinning modified MDI, with advantages such as "hard exterior, soft interior," excellent wear resistance and impact resistance, and good processability, finds extensive and critical applications in various fields including automotive, sports equipment, furniture, and footwear, as detailed below:
Automotive Industry: This is its most critical application area. In addition to the previously mentioned steering wheels, gearshift knobs, and armrests, the material can also be used in dashboards, car seats, door panels, headrests, sun visor pads, as well as components such as bumpers and spoilers. For example, when dashboards are made from this material, they offer both a delicate tactile feel and excellent UV resistance, ensuring that they maintain their appealing appearance over the long term. As for bumpers, their outstanding impact resistance helps reduce damage to both the vehicle body and passengers in the event of a collision, while their lightweight nature aligns perfectly with the automotive industry’s goal of reducing fuel consumption.
In the field of sports equipment: It is suitable for a wide range of sports protection and functional needs. On one hand, it can be used to manufacture protective gear such as knee pads and elbow pads, leveraging its excellent cushioning and abrasion resistance to safeguard athletes' joints. On the other hand, it can be incorporated into the soles of sports shoes, endowing them with outstanding resilience and durability, thereby enhancing comfort and athletic performance during exercise. Additionally, it can also be used in the frame components of snowboards and surfboards; its robust surface resists friction and impact during sports activities, ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment.
In the furniture and office equipment sector, this material is commonly used for armrests and headrests in office chairs and sofas, padded headboards, decorative panels, and more. These components not only offer an ergonomically comfortable, soft touch but also feature a dense surface that is easy to clean and highly durable. Additionally, this material can be used to create sturdy and aesthetically pleasing frames for computers, typewriters, pianos, and other devices, seamlessly blending functionality with decorative appeal while perfectly matching the aesthetic and usage requirements of various types of furniture and equipment.
Shoe Manufacturing Industry: Polyester-based self-skinning polyurethane products are widely used in the footwear industry and can be employed to manufacture various types of shoes, including leather shoes, mining boots, and riding boots. Shoe components made from this material not only exhibit excellent wear resistance, enabling them to withstand the abrasion encountered in everyday walking or in specialized environments such as mines, but also enhance wearing comfort thanks to their elasticity. Moreover, the dense surface layer makes these shoes easier to maintain.
In the field of industrial components: This material is ideal for manufacturing wear-resistant parts such as rollers and wheels used in industrial applications. Its self-encrusting, wear-resistant surface layer effectively resists frictional wear during prolonged operation, while its high load-bearing capacity makes it well-suited to meet the heavy-duty demands of industrial environments—for example, rollers used in conveyor systems. By using this material, the service life of these components can be significantly extended, reducing the costs associated with frequent component replacements.
Other daily and specialized applications: In everyday products, it can be used for bicycle seats, motorcycle seats, and the like, leveraging its cushioning properties to enhance riding comfort while its wear-resistant characteristics make it well-suited for challenging outdoor environments. In children’s products, it can be used to manufacture edge protection components for children’s furniture; its rounded texture and impact resistance ensure children’s safety during use. Moreover, after curing, this material is non-toxic, fully meeting the safety standards for children’s products.
