Semi-Rigid PU Protective Component Molding Solution
High-pressure reaction molding systems engineered for structural padding and protective furniture components, combining heavy load support with progressive impact absorption.
Precision Semi-Rigid Polyurethane Solutions for Protective Furniture Components
Children's education furniture, healthcare facilities, and structural furniture headboards demand protective components that balance structural firmness with gentle tactile cushioning. Conventional soft foams bottom out completely under heavy localized impacts, failing to protect against underlying rigid furniture frames, while rigid plastics present severe blunt-force injury hazards. Haifeng’s semi-rigid polyurethane foam molding solution utilizes closed-loop high-pressure reaction injection to produce microcellular parts ranging from 60 to 120 kg/m³. Under heavy mechanical impacts, the unique semi-rigid cell walls collapse progressively to dissipate over 85% of kinetic impact energy, recovering their original geometry without plastic cracking.

From Material Preparation to Finished Components
Coordinate formulation, metering, forming, curing and finishing around the selected product and production schedule.
Armature Clamping & Mold Thermal Stabilization
Pre-fabricated steel brackets, wooden mounting inserts, or plastic pins are secured into permanent magnetic seats; pneumatic mold clamps lock the aluminum cavities firmly.
High-Pressure Impingement Multi-Shot Injection
Servo displacement pumps inject semi-rigid formulated polyol and isocyanate at up to 180 bar through an anti-drip mixing head, depositing exact chemical masses in 1.5–2.5 seconds.
Controlled Expansion & Armature Encapsulation
Liquid reaction mass expands within the closed cavity under controlled backpressure, solidifying around metal armatures and creating an energy-dissipating microcellular matrix.
