Polyurethane
Extremely wide variations in forms and in physical and mechanical properties are available in polyurethanes. Grades can range in density from 0.5 lb/ft3 in cellular form, to over 70 lb/ft3 in solid form, and in hardness from rigid solids at 85 Shore D to soft, elastomeric compounds. Polyurethane

Closing In With Polyurethane RIM
, the liquids had formed a polyurethane structural-foam material with a foam core and a hard, solid outer skin. Since then, polyurethane systems for RIM have grown into a broad range of formulations developed to produce specific physical properties for specific performance requirements. Polyurethane RIM

Medical Device Link . Environmental-Stress-Crack Resistance of Rigid Thermoplastic Polyurethanes
. The effects of chemical exposure and heat-aging history on product functional performance and potential failure modes were also investigated. Two rigid polyurethane materials--designated RTPU-A and RTPU-B--were provided by a supplier. Table I lists selected physical properties of the two resins

Using In-process Viscometry Measurements to Predict Prepolymer Molecular Weight and to Control the Molecular Weight of Polyurethanes (.pdf)
Polyurethanes, which are prepared by the reaction of an isocyanate with a polyol, are commonly employed in a broad range of applications such as paints and inks. The physical properties and the performance characteristics of the polyurethane that is formed depend on the synthetic route

Basic Properties of FRP Enclosures
resin base with organic fillers, intended to facilitate flow, and to obtain special physical characteristics such as UV-resistance, halogen-free and self-extinguishing properties. Some of the basic properties of Vynckier "FRP" Enclosures are... 25% Fiberglass Fibers - The combination of a heavy mix

Think cast urethane for feedpath components
, open-cell foam with or without an integral protective skin, or microcellular foam with open or closed cells. Each type of foam has its own physical properties (such as semiconductivity) that can be tailored to applications. Conventional open-cellfoam urethane, for instance, is used in paperfeed rollers

Bonds that take a beating
along with the anticipated service conditions. Ditto for the physical properties of the adhesives as well as the bond joint design in structural applications. ADHESIVES OVERVIEW. There are few, if any, substrates which structural adhesives can't bond. The most challenging projects, such as joining
