The main characteristics of polyurethanes that play a role in their choice;

Versatility of the material

When we look at what makes polyurethane so important, we can see that it has countless applications due to its versatility. The large number of raw materials with very different properties required for polyurethane synthesis makes polyurethanes a very important and interesting material. The properties of polyurethanes are highly dependent on the manner in which they are produced. For example, if the polyol chain used as a raw material in the preparation of polyurethane is long and flexible, making the final product soft and elastic. On the other hand, if the extend of crosslinking is too high, the final polyurethane product will be tough and rigid. This versatility makes polyurethanes ideal for use in many different applications, from automotive components to medical equipment. The unique properties of polyurethanes make them ideal for a wide range of applications, from insulation to furniture.

Hardness & Robustness

Polyurethane is an extremely hard material with exceptional tear resistance. Thanks to this feature, it will last longer than many materials in highly corrosive environments.

Flexibility & Lightness

It can be molded in various shapes and sizes. This flexibility creates unique and innovative designs in the furniture and footwear industry, as well as creating an extraordinary comfort zone in our lives.

Chemical resistance and durability

Polyurethane coatings are ideal for use in industries such as automotive as they are resistant to abrasion, tearing and impact. In addition to their mechanical properties, polyurethanes offer exceptional chemical resistance. This makes them ideal for use in the chemical industry where they can be exposed to harsh chemicals.

Insulation Property

Thanks to a uniform foam structure, heat retention is excellent. Thanks to its closed cell structure, it also provides sound insulation. Thanks to this excellent insulation feature, high energy savings are achieved.

Adhesion Property

Since they have good adhesion, they can adhere to almost any applied surface.

Low Cost and Easy Processability

Thanks to their low cost and easy processability, they have become the first choice of most manufacturers.

Fire prevention

Thanks to its airtight feature, it has the ability to prevent both fire progression and smoke.

Recyclable

It can be reused chemically when broken down into its chemical components, mechanically when reused in polymer form, and even as a raw material for new polyureas.

Environmentally friendly

Polyurethanes do not produce bacteria and are environmentally friendly due to their hygienic and recyclable properties. By reducing the need for energy, it allows us to protect the limited natural resources of our world.

The importance of polyurethanes in our daily lives is constantly increasing as their usage areas increase.

In short, it is very difficult to imagine a world without them.
