Polyurethane
A polyurethane, commonly abbreviated PU, is any polymer consisting of a chain of
organic units joined by urethane links. Polyurethane polymers are formed by reacting
a monomer containing at least two isocyanate functional groups with another monomer
containing at least two alcohol groups in the presence of a catalyst. Polyurethane
formulations cover an extremely wide range of stiffness, hardness, and densities.
These materials include low density flexible foam used in upholstery and bedding,
low density rigid foam used for thermal insulation, soft solid elastomers used for
gel pads and print rollers, and hard solid plastics used as electronic instrument
bezels and structural parts. Polyurethanes are widely used in high resiliency flexible
foam seating, rigid foam insulation panels, microcellular foam seals and gaskets,
durable elastomeric wheels and tires, electrical potting compounds, high performance
adhesives and sealants, Spandex fibers, seals, gaskets, carpet underlay, and hard
plastic parts. Polyurethane products are often called "urethanes". They should not
be confused with the specific substance urethane, also known as ethyl carbamate.
Polyurethanes are not produced from ethyl carbamate, nor do they contain it.
