Furniture & flexible foam

Bio-content seating that meets resilience, durability, and FST targets.

The challenges in this industry

  • Adding renewable carbon without losing 50% IFD or compression set
  • Cleaner smell profile for indoor air quality
  • Meeting CertiPUR-US and TB117-2013 requirements

How MCPU shows up

MCPU works directly with formulation teams in furniture & flexible foam to qualify polyurethane chemistry against the specific spec, line, and end-use environment. We don’t hand off a generic SKU — we run pilot trials, iterate, and ship to your target.

Case story

A U.S. tier-one furniture OEM uses Honey Bee® soy polyols in a slabstock cushion line, replacing ~25% of the petro-polyol B-side. The reformulated cushions hold IFD targets, pass compression-set spec, and now carry a USDA Certified Biobased Product label.
