BayOne Urethane Systems LLC integral skin foam systems combine the advantage of a durable elastomeric skin with a low-density cellular core. The tough-yet-flexible outer skin provides excellent resistance to abrasion, cutting, puncture and chemical attack. What’s more, the foam core makes finished parts weigh less and thus more cost-efficient than those made with a solid non-cellular material.

We offer three types of integral skin foam systems. Each has its unique properties, but they all share the advantage of making tough, flexible, low-density parts:

• HFC-245fa or pentane-blown for parts requiring a thicker skin and a firm core
• HFC-134a and water co-blown for parts requiring a soft, resilient hand
• Water-blown for parts requiring uniform physical properties through the cross-section
