“An idea is<br />

a thought frozen<br />

in time”<br />

Henri Bergson, French philosopher<br />

and Nobel prize winner<br />

Practically no other modern-day invention is so aptly described by this quote from Henri Bergson than<br />

Bayfit ® – the polyurethane flexible foam from <strong>BaySystems</strong>.<br />

When Prof. Dr. Otto Bayer discovered polyurethane back in 1937, hardly anyone could have guessed just<br />

how successful this new material would prove to be. Since then, several generations of chemists, product<br />

developers, engineers and designers have turned polyurethane into one of the most fascinating materials<br />

for an astonishing variety of applications – a material that has enabled countless ideas to become reality<br />

and whose versatility provides a constant stimulus for new ideas.<br />

The fact that <strong>BaySystems</strong> today ranks among the leading system suppliers is the result of ongoing<br />

research and development efforts and close, targeted cooperation <strong>with</strong> customers across the world.<br />

So why not make use of our know-how to realize your ideas! Use Bayfit ® !

“Our business<br />

is about <strong>customized</strong><br />

solutions”<br />

Bayfit ® enables functional parts – such as inner springs, supports, joints, fastenings or entire steel<br />

structures – to be insert molded. Bayfit ® makes it easy to incorporate inserts or to back-fill fabrics <strong>with</strong><br />

foam – from super-soft to extra hard.<br />

In this way, Bayfit ® can be used to combine spectacular shapes <strong>with</strong> a high degree of functionality, maximum<br />

comfort and top quality. This makes Bayfit ® molded foam systems the ideal complement to traditional<br />

slabstock foam, which is less suitable for some designs due to the additional cutting and bonding<br />

work and high scrap rates.<br />

The Bayfit ® range also includes a diverse mix of specialty systems for such areas as the production<br />

of medical mattresses and aircraft seats. The <strong>customized</strong> solutions in flexible polyurethane molded<br />

foam available from <strong>BaySystems</strong> not only include the products and expertise needed to produce flameretardant<br />

seating for public areas but also high-quality technical filters and gaskets.

Upholstery <strong>with</strong><br />

Bayfit ® Home or<br />

“My foam is my castle”<br />

Nowadays, exclusive design is more important than ever in modern living. It is the material that plays<br />

the key role here, in combination <strong>with</strong> contemporary styling.<br />

With their broad spectrum of properties, Bayfit ® foams place practically no restrictions on design.<br />

Whether curved or angular, functional and to the point, conventional, bulky or extravagant – any shape<br />

and any style can be turned into reality.<br />

There is a wide range of potential uses for Bayfit ® in furniture production: from the softest cushions<br />

to hard armrests. Fastenings or inserts made by injection molding or from wood, as well as structural<br />

components made from metal, can all be permanently bonded to the cushioning during the foaming<br />

process. This creates high-quality furniture that both looks and feels great.


Moon System, Design Zaha Hadid, B&B Italia, Italy


The advantages of Bayfit ® for upholstered furniture production: • <strong>Foam</strong>ing of very large moldings<br />

• Integration of complex inserts made from wood, metal or plastic<br />

• Wide range of hardness from rigid to very flexible<br />

• High flowability, even in large, long or narrow flow channels and in intricate molds


Bayfit ® Office:<br />

“Chairman’s choice”<br />

Office furniture made <strong>with</strong> molded foam cushioning from Bayfit ® retains its hardness and contours<br />

for years. This guarantees a comfortable and ergonomically designed seat and results in stress-free<br />

employees who can concentrate on their work and perform well. This alone makes the use of Bayfit ®<br />

economically viable.<br />

The fact that structural parts can be securely bonded to the foam during the foaming process brings<br />

economic advantages, resulting in faster and consequently cost-effective production processes. And<br />

our polyurethane systems offer top performance – from heavy-duty seat cushioning made of Bayfit ®<br />

to comfortable armrests made of Bayflex ® integral skin foam.<br />

Bayfit ® systems for office furniture are always tailored to our individual customers’ wishes. Their<br />

quality requirements and processing conditions are all taken into account, along <strong>with</strong> the available<br />

logistics. Whether you want to produce parts <strong>with</strong> differing geometries and volumes or thin office<br />

chair pads <strong>with</strong> integrated fastenings and support elements or foam-backed covering fabrics – Bayfit ®<br />

provides the perfect result, combining style, comfort and added value every time.


Axess Plus, Design Antonio Citterio, Vitra, Switzerland


The advantages of Bayfit ® for office furniture production:<br />

• Harder foams providing the ultimate in strength<br />

• Complete curing even <strong>with</strong> very small parts<br />

• Ideal for plastic inserts requiring effective adhesion<br />

• For thin office chair pads <strong>with</strong> integrated fastenings and support elements<br />

• For direct back-foaming of covering fabrics


Bayfit ® Public:<br />

Completely relaxed on<br />

just 0.4 square meters<br />

The seating used in trains and busses or in public buildings such as theaters, cinemas and airports<br />

represents the ultimate in seat design. The need for optimum comfort and fire retardancy places<br />

exceptionally stringent demands on flexible foams used in these applications.<br />

Bayfit ® systems for public areas provide designers <strong>with</strong> the basis to develop ergonomically optimized<br />

upholstery cores. The diverse range of Bayfit ® formulations enables the comfort attributes of the<br />

upholstery such as hardness, elasticity and damping to be tailored to the specific application. It also<br />

means that specific combustion properties such as smoke density and toxicity, flame spread and<br />

melting behavior meet the rigorous national and international standards.<br />

Our wide-ranging expertise and our close cooperation <strong>with</strong> Currenta’s Fire Technology department<br />

ensure that there is an optimum Bayfit ® system for every situation.


Bayfit ® innovations in the field of flame retardance:<br />

The Bayfit ® system: melamine-free!<br />

• Use of PHD polyethers*<br />

• Avoidance of powder handling<br />

• Good storage stability of the formulation<br />

• Reduced abrasion in the mixing head and less wear<br />

and tear on pumps<br />

The Bayfit ® system: halogen-free!<br />

• Thanks to intensive development work in<br />

cooperation <strong>with</strong> manufacturers of flame retardants,<br />

the Bayfit ® range also includes halogen-free molded<br />

foam systems<br />

* stable dispersion of low-flammability polyurea in polyether


Bayfit ® Memory:<br />

A lasting impression<br />

of comfort<br />

In addition to the highly elastic Bayfit ® flexible foams, high energy-absorbing foams – known as slow<br />

recovery or viscoelastic foams – are used in special applications. These are particularly suitable for<br />

the manufacture of comfortable cushions, mattresses and special orthopedic moldings. They are<br />

mainly used to prevent bedsores (sores that occur due to the patient lying in one position for a long<br />

time).<br />

Bayfit ® Memory foams only regain their shape very slowly after deformation. Exposed to the heat and<br />

pressure of a human body, the foam optimally adapts to each individual contour thereby distributing<br />

the body weight across the greatest possible surface area. The low level of resistance ensures optimum<br />

pressure distribution. The finished molded foam can also be given an additional hygienic outer<br />

layer in the form of a Baytec ® elastomer skin.<br />

Currently, viscoelastic foams are mainly used in mattresses and pillows, but they would also be an<br />

excellent choice for applications in the “Home” and “Office” sectors.

The compression curves clearly illustrate the difference between standard foams (HR: high resilience) and<br />

viscoelastic foams (VE): Compared <strong>with</strong> HR foams, VE foams show a smaller increase in force at higher<br />

deformations. The large hysteresis in the VE foam curve reflects the slow shape recovery of the compressed<br />

material.


Bayfit ® Tec:<br />

Soft foams for tough<br />

applications<br />

<strong>Foam</strong>-in-place technology, where the seal is applied to the workpiece during the foaming process,<br />

has grown significantly in importance over the last few years. It is increasingly replacing the use of<br />

prefabricated gaskets made from materials such as PVC and rubber. The automotive industry and its<br />

suppliers, as well as the electrical and electronics sectors, have been the main beneficiaries of the<br />

advantages brought by Bayfit ® .<br />

The main advantage over installing pre-molded gaskets lies in the major potential for rationalization.<br />

Thanks to the foaming process, material consumption is lower than <strong>with</strong> solid alternative materials.<br />

Additionally, production can take place on automated processing lines, ensuring a high level of productivity<br />

and fitting accuracy.<br />

The electrical and electronics sectors also appreciate the sound-absorbing properties of Bayfit ® foams.<br />

They use the noise-reducing grades in electrical appliances thanks to their flame-retardant properties.


The advantages of Bayfit ® for the technical sector:<br />

• Processing into lightweight gaskets<br />

• Production and assembly in one step<br />

• Good chemical resistance<br />

• High temperature resistance and low compression set<br />

• Good adhesion to all conventional substrates such<br />

as plastics, metals, stainless steel and surface coatings


Bayfit ® Automotive:<br />

In the driver’s seat<br />

Seldom a material has been used so consistently in car components as in the seats. In fact, well over<br />

90 percent of all car seats are produced using flexible polyurethane foam. On average, that represents<br />

a weight of 10 kilograms per car.<br />

In this application, Bayfit ® foam enhances comfort but also keeps the driver alert. After all, no matter<br />

how comfortable the interior, drivers have to be fully attentive at all times and in every situation. The<br />

elasticity and contours of Bayfit ® also give the occupants ergonomic support to ensure that they can<br />

always maintain the right posture.<br />

Bayfit ® foams dampen vibrations, offer outstanding climate comfort and also have excellent load<br />

resistance – which means they do not deteriorate even during long-term service. They can be used to<br />

manufacture seat and backrest cushioning to fit the contours of the body, as well as head and arm rests<br />

in all conceivable shapes and hardness grades. Using dual-hardness foam technology, the lateral edges<br />

of the seat cushion can be made more stable. This means that, despite the centrifugal forces exerted on<br />

drivers going round corners, they still sit firmly “in the saddle”.

The advantages of Bayfit ® Automotive<br />

for car seat production:<br />

• Excellent load resistance and long-term elasticity<br />

• Can be manufactured in virtually any shape and size<br />

• Smooth integration into series production<br />

• Inserts for fixing the covering fabric are molded in<br />

• Higher lateral stability <strong>with</strong> dual-hardness technology<br />

• Compliance <strong>with</strong> the most stringent emission and odor specifications


Bayfit ® Automotive:<br />

Comfort on two wheels<br />

Comfort and ergonomic support are not only important for seating in cars and trucks. Staying in the<br />

saddle is even more important when it comes to motorcycles and their safe handling – especially in<br />

critical situations.<br />

Bayfit ® molded foams offer all the features you need to produce motorcycle saddles: virtually unrestricted<br />

freedom of design for all kinds of shapes and high hardness that can easily be combined <strong>with</strong><br />

low density. Saddles made <strong>with</strong> Bayfit ® systems provide comfortable seating for motorcycles that<br />

dampens vibrations and also ensures excellent load resistance and long-term elasticity.<br />

Bayfit ® systems additionally enable highly efficient processing when manufacturing saddles. Functional<br />

parts can easily be integrated, and backfoaming of surface materials is possible. So too are dualhardness<br />

seating solutions: the sides and edges of the seat can be “zoned-off” <strong>with</strong> a higher foam<br />

density that provides stable ergonomic support. This makes riding a motorcycle even more enjoyable<br />

and relaxing.

The advantages of Bayfit ® Automotive for 2-wheeler seating:<br />

• High load resistance <strong>with</strong> long-term elasticity<br />

• Wide range of hardness and density<br />

• High processing flexibility and efficiency providing freedom of design<br />

• Dual-density seating possible for a high level of ergonomic support and comfort<br />

• Integrated processing together <strong>with</strong> inlays and covering materials possible


Bayfit ® Automotive:<br />

Silence is golden<br />

If a driver is exposed over a long period to loud noise, it is not only bad for his or her health, it also constitutes<br />

a significant safety risk. Bayfit ® Automotive systems absorb air-borne and structural noise to create<br />

pleasant interior acoustics. The optimum solution here is to use Bayfit ® foams and Bayflex ® heavy-layer<br />

cladding, either alone or in combination (the spring-mass principle). Ideally, the component will be made<br />

entirely of polyurethane. These components are normally invisible, e.g. they form the sound insulation<br />

on the bulkhead behind the dashboard, the foam backing on carpets and wheel arch linings, or modules<br />

for engine compartment insulation. All products can be processed very economically, because no timeconsuming<br />

trimming is needed. They can also be molded to the most complex geometries and are kind to<br />

the ears – and nerves – of the driver and passengers.<br />

With their optimized foam structure and perfect cavity filling, Bayfit ® Automotive foams offer excellent<br />

absorption of air-borne noise. Viscoelastic Bayfit ® in combination <strong>with</strong> a heavy layer of Bayflex ® SA also<br />

results in ideal structural sound and vibration damping. With the highly filled Bayflex ® SA and Bayflex ® SP<br />

systems for heavy layers, manufacturers can choose between grades for the classic RIM process or the<br />

more flexible spray processes. With both methods, the layer thickness can be varied at every single point<br />

on the part.

The raw materials<br />

for Bayfit ®<br />

With the extensive range of TDI- and MDI-based isocyanates at our disposal, we at <strong>BaySystems</strong> can<br />

provide all the materials required for producing flexible molded foams. All isocyanates are available<br />

in pure form, in modified form (e.g. as prepolymers) and as isocyanate blends. The specialty products<br />

available also include modified TDI grades known as HP or High Performance TDI, used in our systems<br />

to improve flame retardance.<br />

Also included in our comprehensive product range are long-chain polyols and polyethers <strong>with</strong> shorter<br />

molecular structures and differing reactivity and functionality. We can also provide polyethers <strong>with</strong><br />

fine-particle styrene-acrylonitrile-copolymers (SAN filler polyethers) as well as PHD filled polyethers.<br />

These polyols filled <strong>with</strong> polyurea are available exclusively from Bayer MaterialScience AG and<br />

increase the foam hardness as well as the SAN grades while also helping to comply <strong>with</strong> special fire<br />

safety standards.<br />

<strong>BaySystems</strong> creates your <strong>customized</strong> Bayfit ® system from these raw materials and other additives.


Living science<br />

Entirely in keeping <strong>with</strong> the spirit of the discoverer of polyurethanes,<br />

Prof. Dr. Otto Bayer (1902–1984), research and<br />

development is an integral part of our employees’ day-to-day<br />

activities at <strong>BaySystems</strong>. Recent results of this work include<br />

the development of viscoelastic foams and new processes<br />

designed to improve flame retardance properties, to name<br />

but two examples.<br />

The following notes apply to the typical values given below.<br />

Mechanical properties: These values are intended as a guide<br />

only and must be checked in each individual case on finished<br />

parts under the processor’s production conditions.<br />

Flame retardance: The methods described in this publication<br />

for testing the fire performance of polyurethane and the<br />

results quoted do not permit direct conclusions to be drawn<br />

regarding every possible fire risk there may be under service<br />

conditions. Furthermore, this does not release the producer<br />

of the finished parts from the obligation to carry out suitable<br />

tests on his end product <strong>with</strong> respect to fire performance<br />

and/or fire risk in order to guarantee conformity <strong>with</strong> the<br />

required fire safety standard.
