Less Odor

Traditional polyurethane foams are known to emit amines that can create unpleasant odors during manufacturing and in end products.

Dow VORANOL™ VORACTIV™ polyols are unique because the amine catalyst is built into the polyol, thereby reducing odors often associated with amine emissions.

Use VORANOL VORACTIV polyols to:

Improve the air quality in foam processing plants. To provide the best working environment possible for your employees, select VORANOL VORACTIV polyols for your foam production.
Reduce unpleasant odors due to amines in end products. Foams are used in a wide variety of consumer products, from mattresses and sofas to automotive interiors. Now more than ever, consumers have high expectations regarding the quality of air in places where they spend a significant amount of time, such as their homes and their cars. They are seeking products that help meet these rising standards — and that’s where VORANOL VORACTIV polyols can offer foam producers and foam purchasers differentiation opportunities versus traditional foams.

In addition to reduced odor, VORANOL VORACTIV polyols can help foam producers simplify processing and reduce costs, and develop more consistent foams for end product manufacturers.
