A chemical compound which appears under the form of a colorless, mobile liquid becoming brown to dark-red upon exposure to light and air, which autopolymerizes with acid catalysts, often with explosive violence, to form a thermosetting resin that cures to an insoluble, infusible solid, highly resistant to chemical attack, and which is used as a flavoring agent, a penetrant, a solvent for dyes and resins, a wetting agent, in corrosion-resistant sealants and cements, foundry cores, furanpolymers and in modified urea-formaldehyde polymers. 5, record 2, English, - furan%2D2%2Dylmethanol

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. 2, record 3, English, - rigid%20polyurethane%20foam
