Polyurethane

Product Description: Polyurethane

Overview

Polyurethane (PU) is a versatile polymer material known for its wide range of properties, including flexibility, durability, and resistance to abrasion and chemicals. It is used in various construction and engineering applications, offering solutions for insulation, sealing, coatings, and adhesives.

Uses

  • Insulation: Used in rigid foam panels for thermal insulation in walls, roofs, and floors.

  • Sealants and Adhesives: Provides strong bonding and sealing for joints, gaps, and cracks.

  • Flooring Coatings: Applied as a protective coating for concrete floors to enhance durability and aesthetics.

  • Roofing Systems: Utilized in spray foam applications for waterproofing and insulation.

  • Pipe and Duct Insulation: Ideal for insulating HVAC systems and piping to prevent heat loss and condensation.

  • Molded Parts: Used in manufacturing various components like gaskets, cushions, and decorative elements.

Specifications

  • Material Composition: Made from the reaction of polyols and diisocyanates, which can be modified to achieve different properties.

  • Types: Available in flexible foam, rigid foam, elastomers, coatings, adhesives, and sealants.

  • Thermal Insulation: Excellent thermal insulation properties with low thermal conductivity.

  • Durability: High resistance to abrasion, impact, and chemical exposure.

  • Flexibility: Retains flexibility over a wide range of temperatures and conditions.

  • Application Methods: Can be sprayed, poured, brushed, or rolled, depending on the form and use.

  • Curing Time: Varies depending on the formulation and application method, typically ranging from a few minutes to several hours.

  • Colour: Usually available in various colours depending on the application (e.g., clear, white, black).
