Baydur® STR

Lightweight construction in automotive design

Baydur® STR is a rigid integral skin polyurethane foam that can be used in combination with chopped strands, chopped glass rovings or glass fiber mats to produce a variety of automotive components. Inserts such as anchoring elements, hinges and even high-quality decorative facings can be integrated in one operation. There are many possible applications: Instrument panel supports, consoles, door panels, seat trim, seat shells and backrests, spare wheel wells and covers, luggage compartment floors and engine shrouds as well as pick-up truck boxes. The non-reinforced product is used for the production of rear spoilers painted in the body color.

Core competencies:

High dimensional stability and heat resistance
Very good mechanical strength combined with low weight
Low coefficient of expansion
Low water absorption
Short molding times

	Door trim panels (LFI) Economic productivity with LFI

	Door trim panels (RRIM) Short demold times – One-shot technology

	Engine shielding (SRIM) Corrosion-resistant and protective

	Instrument panel support and hot air duct Light and stable

	Rear spoiler (RIM) Shining surface

	Truck Cargo Box / Lift Gates (SRIM) Dent-Resistant replacement for metal or SMC
