Uratex has a quality monitoring system which ensures that the high quality envisioned is
reproducible to every batch of products that will come out. The technology features a
well-designed high pressure mixing system with a powerful drive. The high pressure
injection of the isocyanate into the mixing chamber creates a very fine spray with a large
surface. Thus the isocyanate is more reactive to the polyol. This results in a more intense
chemical binding. It also features a liquid laydown system wherein trapped air can easily
escape from this thin liquid layer and is not included in the block. This way, pinholes and
voids are prevented. Thus, allowing the production of foam with very controlled cell size
