Polyurethane - the stuff that foams are made of.
I can hear what you can't see
The figures speak for themselves: The Polyurethanes Business Unit (BU PUR) not only holds pole position worldwide, it is also the largest section within Bayer MaterialScience. With a workforce of around 4,400, BU PUR has more employees than any other business unit within Bayer MaterialScience. It contributes around 5.224 billion euros to the company's total sales - about 50 percent. With its broad range of product brands, BU PUR ensures that its customers always have a tailor-made solution for their projects.
Polyurethanes are used primarily in the automotive, construction and electrical/electronics industries, but also in a number of specialty applications: wheels and tires for forklift trucks, for example, are made from the high-performance polyurethane elastomer, Vulkollan®. The range of application for polyurethane is almost unlimited: mattresses, upholstered furniture, car seats, insulation for refrigerators, car bumpers and leisure shoes, to mention just a few. And other new applications are opening up all the time.
A crucial success factor of BU PUR is the ability to deliver both high-volume materials at competitive prices and customized solutions in terms of products and applications.
These tailor-made solutions are provided under the umbrella brand BaySystems. On our BaySystems® website you can find contacts and application examples which show our broad expertise in PUR automotive systems.
