Flexible PUR
High level of comfort and strength
Flexible PUR is a perfect material for furniture. Particularly for parts of the furniture being in physical contact with the users - e.g. seats, chair backs and handles.
Fremstilles disse i fleksibel PUR, vil de fremstå med en overflade, der er ‚lækker‛ at røre ved og være i kontakt med. Derfor vil de være kendetegnet ved høj komfort i forbindelse med brugen.
Flexible PUR provides a high level of comfort
Flexible PUR provides a high degree of comfort for the users since the material is very comfortable to touch. Also, the surface is so strong that the material will stand rough, daily use.
Flexible PUR will stand disinfection and temperatures up to 80º C.
The parts made of flexible PUR are often characterised by the design of the end product. Thus, the finish of these components is often important for the overall impression of the design.
Flexible PUR is an ideal material for rehabilitation products and furniture, especially those parts that come into contact with the user. Flexible PUR is an extremely durable material and can also be used as e.g. bottom parts on outriggers and as dampers in cold storage warehouses.
Play – PUR for playgrounds and playground equipment
Playground equipment, toys, playgrounds, bicycle seats, changing table mats and dumbbells for outdoor training are just some of the uses our polyurethane can be put to, in the manufacturing segment we call Play. The material used in production of items in this category must, among other things, meet very strict safety, quality and durability requirements, and the materials we use are approved as being environmentally friendly and suitable for products made for babies and children.
Our flexible polyurethane (PUR), which we normally refer to as FlexPUR, is a type of foam plastic, that is both soft and extremely hard-wearing, which makes it great to work with as it can be - and is - used in a whole range of different products. Designers and those who work with PUR all over the world love this material, because it offers endless design options, and has an infinite number of fantastic properties.
At Tinby, we custom-make each client's product according to their wishes - on the Shore A hardness scale from 20 to 70. Our technical know-how and expertise enable us to mould the exact item you need, in accordance with the applicable strict quality and health requirements.
If your products need to be biocompatible, i.e. tested as suitable for coming into contact with the skin for up to 24 hours a day, we can work together with you to find a solution. If you want to have a composite material, in which PUR is moulded around a wooden or aluminium core, then we can also offer this option. We also offer spirit-resistant varnish which is excellent for maintaining a high level of hygiene.
