NVH Polyurethane Foams: Continuous emissions improvements, weight reduction and productivity optimization keeping comfort/acoustic performances

Currently the main automotive industry trend is the dramatic reduction of emissions, often combined with weight and productivity optimization. Comfort requirements are also a key element that cannot be compromised. The Dow Chemical Company has been always committed to environmental impact and technology improvements. Among recent innovations, Dow Automotive Systems* has developed unique and differentiated building blocks designed to allow significant emission reduction. Appropriate formulation concepts could be combined with this innovative technology to achieve further weight reduction and productivity increase while maintaining comfort/acoustic performances.
