Uratex Plant Tour in Alabang

I woke up early one weekday for the Uratex Plant Tour.  I haven't been on a field trip for ages so like an enthusiatic pre-schooler I boarded the van as instructed by our guide that brought us to the Uratex Plant in Alabang (only 30-minutes from Makati).

We got to visit different parts of the plant, read long as I shall tour you too. 

Foaming Area

After charging the chemicals into barrels and chilling them, they are then dyed and transformed into a hot fluffy foam.

They are then cooled down.  It is utmost important that they are distanced from each other as when they are too hot they can be flammable.

Look at that... big foams!

Production and Cutting Area

Next, we were to the most interesting part: cutting and packaging.

They use high-tech machines to cut the foams into mattresses precisely.

They also produce cute-shaped sponges for popular sponge producing companies.  (Just guess!)

This is also were they innovate products like this two-sided bath sponge.  Rough to remove dry skin and soft for soaping.

This is a skin-covered foam for kids.  Cool right?  I also learned that manikins are made of the same material.

Uratex Showroom
