furnITure & beddIng
The addition of sTEpANpol polyester polyols enhances mechanical properties resulting in higher quality foams, less scrap, and easier fabrication. This allows for the manufacture of more durable furniture, and in turn, more satisfied customers.
fIlTraTIon
The small, regular foam cells produced by using sTEpANpol adipate polyols can filter air, fluids, and particulates in consumer, medical, and industrial applications.
auTomoTIve foamS
our patented chemistry increases the bonding strength of foam to textile and nonwoven fabrics. The increased adhesion enables better shaping and provides the cushioning, vibration and sound reduction properties essential for automotive headliners.
Typical end uses stepan supplies both aromatic and aliphatic polyester polyols for use in flexible slabstock polyurethane foam applications. sTEpANpol aromatic polyester polyols improve flame lamination bond strength and increase mechanical properties in polyether foams. our aliphatic polyester polyol product line contains branched adipate polyols designed for specialty polyester foams.

Spray InSulaTIon
stepans unique chemistry leads to superior insulation and flammability resistance, critical requirements in the construction industry. spray formulations containing sTEpANpol polyols are also easier to process due to low polyol viscosity and improved blowing agent solubility.
boardSToCk InSulaTIon
piR foams made with sTEpANpol polyester polyol deliver superior insulating performance, applied economics and reliability. This results from the combination of our proprietary technology, application expertise, and world-class manufacturing practices.
applIanCe InSulaTIon
sTEpANpol polyols produce pUR foams with finer cell structures and improved flow. This enables manufacturers to increase insulating value while reducing cost.
