The basics of urethane: the chemistry
The urethane and polyurethane family include many polymers with similar properties. Polymers are materials made up of long-chain molecules with a large number of repeating units. In polyurethanes, these long molecules are made up of repeated organic units linked together by bonds that resemble the chemical structure of urethane, which is why they are called urethane.
Although urethanes appear in most polymer applications, most of them are thermosets, which means that when heated, the materials are initially flexible, but then set into a more permanent distribution that does not melt again. These properties make polyurethane materials particularly suitable for many applications, most notably insulation in construction.
The durability of urethane
Urethane offers superior insulation performance and is more environmentally friendly than traditional building materials. It can be applied in a wide range of industries, including commercial buildings—making it ideal for use in the home as well.
Urethane is an excellent insulation material because it is durable and protects your home from cold winters and hot summers. It also blocks noise pollution so you can continue to live comfortably in this lovely place.
