Project Report On Pu Foam Mattress
Project Report On Pu Foam Mattress
INTRODUCTION
A mattress is a large, rectangular pad for supporting the reclining body, designed
to be used as a bed or on a bed frame, as part of a bed. Mattresses may consist of
a quilted or similarly fastened case, usually of heavy cloth, that contains materials
such as, foam rubber, or a framework of metal springs.
Mattresses are usually placed on top of a bed base which may be solid, as in the
case of a platform bed, or elastic, such as an upholstered wood and wire box
spring or a slatted foundation. Popular in Europe, a divan incorporates both
mattress and foundation in a single upholstered, footed unit. Divans have at least
one innerspring layer as well as cushioning materials.
Advancement in science and technology has created so many products that have
enhanced the quality of human life in every passing year. The human race is
largely dependent on industrialization for up gradation in quality of life. Progress
of the nation is judged through its economic growth which is largely dependent on
industrial productivity. PU Foam is used in a large number of strongly diversified
applications, such as filler for seats, chairs and seat cushions, mattress centres,
car seats, encapsulation of car windows, shoes and textiles, thermal insulation
(buildings, industrial installations, refrigerators, etc.), sound insulation, adhesives
and paints/coatings, etc. The great advantage of PU foam is its great flexibility in
meeting the various applications and requirements. Polyurethane owns some
extremely exceptional material qualities such as: density, elasticity, durability,
weight, safety, design and of course its attractive price.

Since PUF is mainly used together with other materials, such as textiles, metal,
wood and other polymers, it is not always visible in the end products.
Polyurethanes are used throughout cars. In addition to the foam that makes car
seats comfortable, bumpers, interior “headline” ceiling sections, the car body,
spoilers, doors and windows all use polyurethanes. Polyurethane also enables
manufacturers to provide drivers and passengers significantly more automobile
“mileage” by reducing weight and increasing fuel economy, comfort, corrosion
resistance, insulation and sound absorption.
