Fast action Midland, Michigan-based Dow Polyurethanes says its Vora Zzz formula produces foams that wick away moisture.

Midland, Michigan-based Dow Polyurethanes, a supplier of feedstocks for polyurethane foam production, has unveiled a new high-airflow and moisture-wicking foam technology formula called ComfortScience Vora Zzz.

The company said in a news release that Vora Zzz is a first of its kind product and results in a highly breathable foam with cooler sleeping temperatures that lead to less tossing and turning.

“Multiple medical studies show the link between a good night’s sleep and positive health benefits,” said Doug Todd, marketing director for Dow Polyurethanes. “Putting our material science know-how to work, we developed a novel product for mattress foam to provide a more restful, deeper sleep.”

Vora Zzz was one of three finalists for the Polyurethane Innovation Award at the Center for the Polyurethanes Industry’s annual Polyurethanes Technical Conference held in September in Baltimore.
