CONT

Our rigid polyurethane foam systems are closed cell thermosetting plastics characterized by high strength to weight ratio with the primary advantage being outstanding insulation and buoyancy. They are two-component systems comprised of an isocyanate and a resin compound which typically contains polyols, catalysts, surfactants, fire retardants and blowing agents. The uses for our rigid polyurethane foams are never-ending.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastic Materials
CONT

... rigid polyurethane foam is widely used as a heat insulator for housing, refrigerator cars, freezing warehouses and home refrigerators.

OBS

Polyurethane is made during the reaction of an isocyanate and one or more polyols. It can be made into flexible or rigid foam and solid forms. The foams are good insulators, and used for products such as building insulation, car seats and furniture.

Key term(s)
  • rigid foam

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matières plastiques
DEF

Mousse de polyuréthanne composée à partir de diisocyanates dont les molécules sont plus grosses que celles des mousses souples.

OBS

Le trichlorofluorométhane (Fréon 11) est utilisé pendant la fabrication des mousses rigides; ces mousses servent souvent à l'isolation thermique.
