Indratech Cushion Material

Indratech

Making it’s marine industry debut is a product called “Indratech”; it’s a seat or mattress cushion material made from thick filaments that provide softness but promote a major increase in air circulation compared to foam materials.

IPF’s proprietary manufacturing process is an example of Indratech’s innovation and technology that distinguishes it from all other cushioning products used in furniture and bedding, whether fiber-based or foam. With more than a dozen patents pending, Indratech is on the leading edge of manufacturing technology for the next generation of seating, bedding and acoustical products, where not only comfort and durability are important, but safe, non-toxic, environmentally friendly content is also a primary focus.

IPF is equally suited to traditional, flat product applications such as mattress pads or bench seating, as well as complex, 3-D parts molded for highly unique applications such as aircraft, automotive, RV or boat interiors and luxury furniture. We quickly and easily adapt IPF production for any application.

Indratech currently holds numerous patents for the manufacturing process required to produce this unique fiber product—and Indratech is the only manufacturer of this type of elastomeric material in North America. IPF is suitable for any application where FOAM has historically been used such as seating, bedding, acoustical panels and many others.

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
