PCC Rokita SA starts regular production of
iPol polyols

Duisburg / Brzeg Dolny, April 2010

Having successfully finished the commissioning phase, PCC Rokita SA launched the regular operation of its new iPol polyols production facility on April 20, 2010. These speciality polyols allow for the implementation of the innovative iPol-tec foam technology. iPol is a special polymeric polyol whose processing enables polyurethane foam (PUR foams) producers and mattress manufacturers to substantially raise the cost efficiency and quality of cold foams. iPol foam is highly resistant, remains flexible for a long time, and meets the most severe emission and odour specifications.

Its extreme resilience makes iPol foam suitable for such products as, for example, car seats. In this context, the distinguishing features of this speciality foam are high comfort and weight reduction due to low upholstery thickness. Seats for public buildings, trains, trams, buses, airports, theatres or cinemas need to resist even more strain. Here it is not only seating comfort that counts, but also risk minimization in case of fire. iPol not only offers the necessary comfort, but also allows for the additional production of soft foams with particular flame retardancy.

On its premises in Brzeg Dolny, PCC Rokita possesses an overall polyol production capacity of approximately 70,000 tonnes annually. With a share of more than 30 %, this product line is the Lower Silesian chemical group’s main turnover source.
