Polyurethane Raw Materials for Foam Production in the Railway Industry
Sustainable Solutions
The social and economic activities in rapid growing cities have been increased due to the increasing population of the world, thus causing the transportation demands to be risen constantly.
In recent years, in order to adapt the transportation to the principles of sustainable development, the performance, safety and driving comfort of vehicles as well as their environmental impacts, social responsibility requirements and contributions to the economic development have been taken in consideration.
Polyurethane systems aim to reduce energy usage and therefore emission, by ensuring weight loss in vehicles with their lightness feature. The PU also enhances material durability and corrosion resistance thanks to its high-performance coating. In addition, it has been preferred by the railway industry due to its many advantages such as lightness, durability, thermal and electrical insulation, design, and ease of production.
The versatile use of polyurethane also reduces the production costs, causing the railway industry to be competitive in the global market. Thus, it contributes to economic development.
Accordingly, Kimpur has developed KIMflex® Integral Systems to support sustainability in transportation to ensure comfort and safe driving.
