What are the advantages of PORON foam application in automobiles?
PORON foam is a kind of high-performance polyurethane foam, which has unique physical and chemical properties and has many advantages in automobile application, mainly in the following aspects:
Buffer and shock absorption
Excellent cushioning performance: PORON foam has good compression deformation characteristics and resilience, and can quickly absorb and disperse energy when it is impacted by external force. For example, in the suspension system, seat and instrument panel of an automobile, when the vehicle runs on a bumpy road or collides, PORON foam can effectively cushion the vibration, reduce the impact on the vehicle body and people inside, and improve the comfort and safety of riding.
Stable shock absorption effect: its shock absorption performance can remain relatively stable under different temperature and humidity conditions. Unlike some ordinary foam materials, which will become hard and brittle at low temperature, the shock absorption effect will be greatly reduced. PORON foam can always provide reliable shock absorption protection for automobiles under various complex climatic conditions.
Sealing and sound insulation
Good sealing performance: PORON foam has excellent sealing performance, which can effectively fill the gap between various parts of the automobile body and prevent the intrusion of rain, dust and air. For example, the use of PORON foam seals in doors, windows and trunk can ensure the cleanliness and dryness of the vehicle environment and improve the overall sealing and waterproof performance of the vehicle.
Excellent sound insulation and noise reduction: it has remarkable sound absorption and blocking effect. It can be applied to the engine compartment, door trim panel, body floor and other parts of the car, effectively blocking the introduction of engine noise, road noise and wind noise into the car, creating a quiet and comfortable driving environment for people in the car and improving the quality of the car.
Weather resistance and durability
Strong anti-aging performance: PORON foam has good weather resistance, can resist the erosion of ultraviolet rays, ozone and chemicals, and is not prone to aging, cracking and embrittlement. Even if it is used on automobile parts exposed to outdoor for a long time, it can maintain good performance and long service life.
Wear and tear resistance: it has high strength and toughness, and can withstand frequent external forces such as extrusion, friction and stretching in the daily use of automobiles, and it is not easy to wear and tear. For example, the use of PORON foam in the edge of car seats, handrails and other easy-to-wear parts can effectively extend the service life of these parts.
Lightweight and design flexibility
Light weight: PORON foam is relatively low in density and light in weight. When used in automobiles, it can effectively reduce the body weight, thus reducing the fuel consumption and exhaust emissions of automobiles, and improving the energy utilization efficiency, which is in line with the development trend of lightweight in the automobile industry.
High design flexibility: it can be customized according to different shape and size requirements of automobile parts, such as die cutting into various complex shapes and specifications, which can well meet the diversified needs of automobile designers in product modeling and function, and provide more possibilities for innovative design of automobiles.
Environmental protection performance
Low volatility and non-toxicity: During the production and use of PORON foam, the release of volatile organic compounds (VOC) is extremely low, and almost no harmful gas is produced, which is harmless to the environment inside the car and human health. This is very important for creating a green driving space and meets the strict requirements of modern cars for environmentally friendly materials.
Recyclable: The foam material has good recyclability. After the car is scrapped, the PORON foam used by it can be recycled and reprocessed, which reduces the pollution to the environment and conforms to the concept of sustainable development.
