SK Chemicals is broadening the application of its SKYPEL specialty material from pillows to mattresses, swapping out traditional olefin-based materials typically used in bedding fillings. The company announced a memorandum of understanding on Monday with DMOA, the main brand of bedding brand SENSE MOM, during a signing ceremony at SENSE MOM's main office in Incheon's Namdong District.
Together, SK Chemicals and DMOA aim to innovate and produce pillows, cushions, seat cushions, and mattresses utilizing SKYPEL as a breathable cushion filler. Both firms have already kickstarted the manufacturing of DMOA pillows containing SKYPEL, with plans to further integrate this material into seat cushions and mattresses. For the pillow project, SK Chemicals replaced olefin-based materials like polyolefin elastomer with SKYPEL, a thermoplastic polyester elastomer.
This material functions as a fiberfill akin to cotton wadding, offering a soft touch while retaining its physical attributes in indoor settings with conventional underfloor heating, where products encounter relatively elevated temperatures.
