The Advantages of Polyurethane in Recreation

Durability

With high tensile strength and tear resistance, polyurethane foams like NCFI’s ComforThane ensure that seat cushions and sport mats withstand years of heavy use without losing their shape or performance.

Versatility

Our polyurethane systems are fully customizable to suit the exact specifications of your project. Whether you're designing a custom helmet or bike saddle, our team will work with you to create the perfect foam formulation.

Shock Absorption

NCFI’s polyurethane foam excels in applications that require impact resistance, such as in gymnastics mats, helmets, and rollercoaster padding, helping reduce injuries and provide added protection.

Comfort

Flexible foam systems such as ComforThane ensure maximum comfort for users in products like camping pads and motorcycle seating, offering optimal support during prolonged use.

Environmentally Inert

With HFO-blown systems in our CryoThane and IntegraThane, our foams offer low global warming potential (GWP) and are more environmentally friendly than traditional foam systems.
