Polyurethane (PU) chemistry can seem complex, but the fundamentals are quite straightforward. Polyurethanes are formed when diisocyanates or polymeric isocyanates react with various types of polyols.
The specific types of isocyanates and polyols used in manufacturing polyurethane can be selected based on customer requirements and the intended application. Polyurethane is available in various forms, including flexible foam, rigid foam, coatings, adhesives, and sealants, among others.
Here’s a list of all the components required for making flexible polyurethane foam.
