The Dow Chemical Company reports that it has made significant progress toward developing consistent soy-based polyols for urethane formulations.
Its design and construction provides long-term comfort without excessive thickness, maintaining the desired feel underfoot throughout the life of the installation. FPF is used in both residential and commercial applications, the majority of which is supplied by the bonded version of the cushion. Studies have repeatedly shown that polyurethane provides outstanding durability, improves carpet appearance retention, and provides comfort and support to occupants. The life cycle extension of the carpet alone can often justify the upfront cost. Add to that polyurethane carpet cushion helps absorb sound by as much as 50% - making the workplace quieter and more productive through reduced noise distraction, less fatigue, and improved employee satisfaction – and the compelling basis for including cushion in the carpet floor covering system is undeniable. There are even environmental benefits: in addition to the fact that bonded polyurethane cushion is made from recycled materials and can be recycled in many localities, the potential extension of carpet life should mean less frequent replacements, resulting in less carpet going to landfill. Some of the many benefits of polyurethane carpet cushion include:
Extended carpet life -- carpet cushion can improve the life expectancy of carpet by up to 50% Increased savings and reduced downtime due to less frequent replacement Added comfort Reduced ambient noise Enhanced thermal insulation Easier carpet maintenance Recyclable in many localities
