| Foam Flake Composites consist of high-quality foam material remainders, which are cut up into flakes and shifted with bonding agents (PUR-systems). These bonding agents cause a flexible adhesion of the flakes. In forming tools the mixture is pressed, so that real moulded foam parts are produced. |

| Which advantages do parts moulded from foam flake composites offer you? | |
| Primarily you get the finished part, which does not require a further treatment or trimming. The softness degree can be varied by different compressions.
The versatile shaping is a further advantage. Under certain conditions even carrier elements can be integrated into the part. Beyond that, these parts are produced with inexpensive raw material and multiple moulds. You also save (manufacturing -) costs. However, you always receive high-quality, genuine parts. These can easily be reproduced, both often and accurately.

| Where can you use moulded parts from foam flake composites? | |
 Parts from foam flake composites have already been used for a long time in the automotive industry. They find use as filler and are used as backbone in soft foam parts, particularly within the non-visible range. In addition, central arm rests; profile frames as well as whole seat and seat-back elements can be produced from foam flake composites. The good sound-absorbing characteristics are used particularly with encapsulations in the internal area of the vehicle.
In chair and furniture industry parts from foam flakes are already used as seat and armrests. Other developments aim at complete side parts with armchair and sofas with the pertinent stabilization and fastening parts. Also pad profiles for covering hard and sharp edges are widely accepted. Further application areas are in the packaging industry. For years foam flake composites have protected sensitive and fragile goods for transportation. Foam flake composites are also used as protective material in gymnastics and sport mats as well as sound and vibration insulation. |
