I Remember my mom was so O.C of how our family home should
look like. Well moms are generally like that, be it from the color of curtains
she will use for the family room should also match the ones inside the bedroom
or which vase will match the center table; things like that. I don’t know for
some moms but my mom is like that.
Our family is just a small one but my mom makes sure that
everything is well-taken cared of. My parents like to buy expensive fixture for
our home but they make sure that the ones they buy is worth its high price.
Their way of thinking is like: why buy items with low prices if the quality is
unmatched? So for them better to invest in a furniture or home appliance but
will be for long use.
Just like our sofa and beds. The
foams used for it are from URATEX Foams. I remember my mom who loves and have
high sentiments over our sofa that instead of buying a new one( because the
foam of it was wrecked already after how many years of use) decided to go to
the Uratex Foam plant to have it custom-repaired and replaced. And my parents
were happy with the results because until now whenever I visit them , it is
still the old sofa situated in our family room.
It never fails to amaze me at how
durable and long-lasting Uratex foams is. So when a blogger friend invited me
to join a group of bloggers to visit the Uratex Plant in Muntinlupa I am so
excited to say yes.
During our visit, Mr. Dindo , The
Communications manager for RGC Group of Companies (The company behind the brand
URATEX) was our host and together with other employees , helped us to know how
the famous Uratex foams are made of.
First it starts with The Research
& Development Laboratory, this is where the formulation of foams are
done.The laboratory personnel here develops formulates and conducts tests that
will endure proper formulation will meet the product specifications that
customers look for.
2nd step is FOAMING,
once the formulation is ready, it is entered in a foaming machine’s computer
system. Up to 26 streams of different chemicals are doused using
computer-controlled metering pumps for precision. The liquid will turn into
cream within seconds and then into solid state within 1.5-2 minutes, and where
the solid foam block may be cut between 1 to 60 meters in length. Here in the
Muntinlupa plant, the foam is cut in 30-meter lengths.
The liquid foam now in its expanded form.
3rd Step is CURING. The
foam blocks are then picked up by an overhead crane and transferred to the
curing area. Here the foams are cooled within the next 24 hours and considered
cured after that.
4th Step, Foams are then
brought to the FOAM BLOCK WAREHOUSE. This serves as storage for the foam
blocks. This is where the blocks are stored
before moved into the production area.
5th step is The
Production area. This is where the URATEX products come from. The foam blocks are
cut into the requested size and then contoured into the desired or type of
product to be produced.
The RGC Group of companies
revolutionized foam making way back in 1987. And in 2001 , the company invested
in a new foam makiing equipment called “HENNECKE”. It is tagged as the
“Mercedez Benz” of foam-making industry. It is a German-manufactured equipment
and regarded as the best in the world.
All of us enjoyed our tour of the
plant. This experience even affirmed my huge satisfaction for the brand. I know
there other quality brands that produced foams but for now I entrust my foam
needs to URATEX.
