The Big World of Polyurethane 1: What is polyurethane?

Polyurethane is also called PU, PUR or urethane.

No matter what you do and where you are, polyurethane plays an important role in our lives though we are unaware of it.

Polyurethane is one of polymers that has a molecular backbone containing carbamate groups (-NHCO2). A urethane groups are produced via a chemical reaction between a diisocyanate and a polyol.

Polyurethanes is regard as the “the fifth largest plastic”, it is employed in a wide variety of industries, such as flexible foams, rigid foams, elastomers, adhesives, coatings, and binders. it can be a found in mattresses, car couches, insulation panel, liquid coatings and paints, elastomeric wheels and tires; surface coatings and sealants; synthetic fiber.

PEPSEN polyurethane is specialized in the development and research of casting molded polyurethane elastomer products.
