Advanced PU Foaming Solutions for Car Upholstery
The automotive upholstery industry refers to the industry that involves the production, manufacturing and sales of all designs, materials, functions and accessories of the interior space of a car. Polyurethane foam is one of the common materials in automotive upholstery, mainly used in seats, door linings, dashboards, etc. Polyurethane foam provides good comfort and support, and has good elasticity and durability. With the requirements of environmental protection regulations, low VOC (volatile organic compounds) and harmless polyurethane materials have become mainstream.
In line with the trend of the times, UREXCEED has also launched a number of polyurethane foaming machines suitable for the automotive upholstery industry to meet the different production needs of customers. For example, a large-flow PU foaming machine and a fully automatic seat production line specifically for the production of car seats, a self-skinning foaming machine specifically for the production of steering wheels and dashboards, and matching self-skinning molds, etc. For every automotive interior application like shock bumper, car headline, sun visor and car mats, we have a matching solution. In addition, we provide customers with budgeting, cost accounting, marketing, etc., and customers don’t have to worry about any problems in the project advancement.
