Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- Polyurethane (PU)
- A family of polymers formed by reacting isocyanates with polyols. PU chemistry spans rigid and flexible foams, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers.
- Isocyanate
- The reactive NCO-bearing feedstock, most commonly MDI or TDI, that cross-links with polyols to build polyurethane.
- MDI
- Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, an aromatic isocyanate used mainly in rigid insulation foams, adhesives, and elastomers.
- TDI
- Toluene diisocyanate, an aromatic isocyanate used mainly in flexible slabstock and moulded foams.
- Polyol
- The hydroxyl-rich co-reactant, polyether or polyester, that reacts with isocyanate. Bio-based polyols replace part of the conventional polyol with renewable feedstock.
- Rigid PU foam
- Closed-cell foam used for construction insulation panels, appliance insulation, and cold-chain applications.
- Flexible PU foam
- Open-cell foam used in mattresses, furniture, and automotive seating, produced as slabstock or moulded foam.
- CASE
- Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, and Elastomers, the non-foam polyurethane application segments.
- TPU
- Thermoplastic polyurethane, a melt-processable PU elastomer used in footwear, hose, film, and industrial parts.
- Blowing agent
- The substance that generates gas cells in foam. Common types include water (CO2), hydrocarbons, and hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs).
- PIR (polyisocyanurate)
- An isocyanate-rich foam variant run at a higher index, used where improved fire performance is required.
- Catalyst and surfactant
- Additives that control reaction speed and stabilise cell structure during foaming.
- Spray polyurethane foam (SPF)
- A two-component PU applied on site for roofing, insulation, and sealing.
- PU recycling
- Mechanical (rebonded foam) and chemical (glycolysis, pyrolysis) routes that recover value from post-industrial and post-consumer polyurethane.
