Polyurethane systems for sporting goods manufacturers

Safe, reliable, durable sporting goods

Superior Performance and Versatility
Discover the excellence of Ecoflex® integral skin systems for a wide range of sporting goods. From supportive gym mats and yoga mats to shock-absorbing padding and helmet layers, our products promise top-tier cushioning and customizable densities. With faster cure times, experience quicker demold times and accelerated manufacturing.

Efficiency in Production
Boost your facility’s output with our Ecoflex® microcellular foams. Thanks to their superior flowability and reduced viscosity, they fill parts up to 50% faster than traditional molding. This enables manufacturers to increase facility output capacity.

Design and Customization
Craft intricate designs with ease. Our microcellular polyurethane foams are perfect for die-cutting complex shapes and support precision tooling. Plus, with a plethora of color options, UV stabilizers, and anti-bacterial additives, you can deliver high-performance with a high-quality look and feel.

Lightweight and Durable
Benefit from the industry’s lowest densities, as low as 2.5 pcf, without compromising on product quality. Our integral skin systems not only reduce component weight but also enhance user comfort and safety. The fine cell structure of our microcellular foams facilitates production of high-density products without the added cost and weight.

Sporting Excellence
Polyurethane systems from FSI feature customizable resilience, hardness, and stiffness for performance across sporting applications. Whether it’s golf balls with 110 compression ratings or elastomer scooter wheels with  82A hardness ratings, our polyurethane products can meet your needs.

Durability Meets Sustainability
Our polyurethane systems are built to last, providing excellent abrasion, impact, and tear resistance with UV-resistant additives as an option. Plus, with the eco-friendly Ecomate® blowing agent, we ensure zero-GWP, aligning with stringent environmental regulations like California SB1013. It requires no Prop 65 labeling.

Easy Transition with Ecomate®
 Switching to FSI foam systems is hassle-free. Ecomate® technology ensures a smooth transition from HFC systems, especially compared with other fourth generation blowing agents. No permits or explosion proofing is required before transitioning to Ecomate® blown foam products.

Global Reach
FSI’s global production and distribution network offers flexibility, with delivery available in totes, drums, pressurized cylinders or in bulk, according to your needs. We work with manufacturers of all sizes to get you what you need, when you need it.
