What is Technogel®?
Technogel® is a unique “soft solid” material, combining 3D deformation properties of a fluid and memory shape properties of a solid body. It is a completely non-toxic and stable polyurethane substance originally developed for medical purposes and currently used in a wide range of applications, which benefit from the comfort and added value it provides. Technogel® is produced using an exclusive formula patented by Bayer Material Science, which is based in Germany. A worldwide exclusive license agreement, signed between Bayer and Royal Medica, allows the Technogel® company to manufacture, use, and commercialize – on an exclusive basis – the only polyurethane gel made without using oils or platicizers. In fact, other soft-solid materials (i.e. silicon) are usually manufactured adding oil (often called “plasticizer”) to make a powder or a soft mass, rendering it soft. The outcome compound does not have chemical stability, which allows it to resist to compressions, frictions, aging, or high temperatures. Instead, Technogel® structure is stable due to its special molecule, which provides incredible stability and unique mechanical properties.
Technogel® is covered by a thin polyurethane film, which allows the naturally sticky Technogel® surface to lose its adhesive properties. The protection film (bio-compatible under ISO 10993-5-1-10 Regulations), as all the textile used to cover Technogel®’s products (certified under rigorous Oeko Tex standards), are hypo-allergenic and provide an hygienic surface to lie on.
Why Technogel® is different from any other gel?
There are other gels on the market, but Technogel® is clearly distinct from every other one. So-called “gel” products are not Technogel®. Why? Here follow 4 simple ways to differentiate Technogel® from these other gels.
- These so-called gels are made combining a blue powder with a visco-elastic foam, which does not provide the Technogel® soft-solid 3-dimensional displacement. In other words, Technogel moves in every direction like water, keeping the shape memory as a solid body.
- These other gels are molded with a honeycomb structure, using hard, but elastic compact materials, which don’t deform, but simply collapses under weight. This system basically works ON/OFF (the material collapses 100% of the time or not at all). Hence, it does not provide the modular adaptation quality of Technogel®.
- Thin layers of flat “so-called” gels are thin to work providing a soft adapting support. Being solid, gel needs to be quite thick to function in the correct manner, which is to move and adapt to a body’s contours. The Technogel® materials in our product have been designed and ergonomically tested to ensure added value and “real deformability” to our supports for sleeping.
- Flat gels poured in convoluted foams offer an uneven surface to support the body (areas of gel are combined with areas of foam with different mechanical properties). The mix of foam and gel avoid gel lateral movements. The “tower” geometry of the Technogel® surface, instead, has been carefully studied to provide the maximum degree of freedom for lateral displacement, while constantly maintaining an even surface.
