Voranol Voractiv Polyols

Bedding/Furniture Manufacturers

As a bedding/furniture manufacturer, your goal is to produce quality products so that customers become repeat customers and propagate positive word of mouth about your products.

A common complaint among end-users of new furniture and bedding products is that the foam sometimes emits strong odors. In fact, a leading consumer reporting magazine cited odor as a top reason to not recommend a major bedding manufacturer’s product. With time, these odors tend to fade, but some consumers may be bothered by the smell, and could wind up returning the item. This leads to costly returns, can damage your brand’s reputation and may negatively impact your bottom line.

A key to ensuring end-user satisfaction is building your furniture and bedding products with foam that minimizes odors associated with amines. VORANOL™ VORACTIV™ reduces amine emissions — often a potential source of these odors.

Foams made with VORANOL VORACTIV polyols have lower emissions than other foams, so you can rest easy knowing that you've made the best choice for your customers.

Reduced odor is just one benefit of foams processed with VORANOL VORACTIV. They also have been shown to have more reliable consistency, critical for manufacturing quality mattresses, sofas and other foam-based furniture.
