PUR energy absorption foam
Why PUR energy absorption foam (EA)?
- Kinetic energy is converted into deformation energy
- Can be optimally used for the most diverse requirements
- Passive passenger protection for all vehicle areas
Einsatzgebiete
Head impact protection (FMVSS 201)
Thin energy absorbing inserts protect the head against impact forces. Parts made from PUR, fulfill the US standard for head impact protection even at limited wall thickness.
Fabrics and vinyl skins can be insert-molded as an A-, B-, or C- pillar, providing a "one-shot-part" with the interior surface, energy absorbing function and insert-molded clips, eliminating the outer shell (injection molded) part entirely.
Knee impact protection
In the IP or steering column an EA insert is used to protect the knee against impact forces. An insert molded sheet metal further distributes impact energy.
Side impact protection
Energy Absorbing PUR Crashpads substantially reduce side impact forces. They protect occupants against hip- and thorax injuries and can function in combination with side airbags. Hardness for hip- or thorax impact protection requirements can be individually adjusted.
Volume displacer
Molded parts that are specially manufactured to fill cavities. It is usually made of lightweight, moulded materials that are precisely adapted to the geometric requirements of the spaces to be filled. Such volume displacers are often used in technical applications to close cavities, increase the stability of structures or avoid unnecessary space requirements.
