Rokopol® iPol S is a white polymer dispersion in a reactive polyether polyol, designed for the production of high-quality high-resilience (HR) foams and flame-retardant (CMHR) foams. It significantly increases the material’s hardness without the need for styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) polyols. It contains antioxidants (BHT-free). It has a hydroxyl number in the range of 40–46 mgKOH/g and a dynamic viscosity in the range of 1500–2000 mPas at 25°C.
Rokopol® iPol S is used in the production of CMHR-type flame-retardant foams (to achieve high resilience while reducing the content of flame-retardant additives) and high-quality high-resilience (HR) foams. Foams of this type are characterized by long-term physical and mechanical properties compared to commonly available HR solutions.
Main application advantages of the product:
solid content (10%),
the ability to produce high-resilience (HR) foams with densities ranging from 25 to 60 kg/m³,
HR and CMHR foam hardness ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 kPa, depending on foam density,
flame-retardant CMHR foams with reduced flame-retardant content (thanks to a different type of solid content, free of styrene-acrylonitrile).
Mechanical properties of foams produced using Rokopol® iPol S polyols:
an impressive SAG factor (up to 3.3—comparable to latex mattresses) and 20–30% higher than foams produced using traditional HR technologies,
very high foam resilience of up to 70%, compared to standard HR solutions, which have resilience levels of 50–60%,
the ability to produce CMHR foam that meets the flammability criteria of CAL TB 133, BS5852, and CRIB 5, manufactured exclusively using a liquid flame retardant,
no styrene monomer,
no acrylonitrile monomer,
high mechanical strength of the resulting foam over time:
negligible loss of hardness, density, and resilience over time, compared to available HR technologies.
The use of Rokopol® iPol S polyol enables increased production efficiency, which is reflected in:
a rectangular foam block shape,
no variations in density or hardness within the foam block,
good initial strength allowing for handling of the foam block immediately after foaming.
The most common applications of Rokopol® iPol S polyol:
high-quality high-resilience (HR) foams and flame-retardant CMHR foams,
flexible foams as a base for the production of HR mattresses and high-resilience upholstery,
molded foams used in automotive seats.
