Frequently Asked Questions

Is polyurethane a plastic or rubber?

Polyurethane (CAS 9009-54-5) is a polymer family formed from polyols and isocyanates that spans both rigid plastic-like and elastic rubber-like materials depending on formulation. It is supplied in primary forms for flexible and rigid foams, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers.

What is polyurethane used for?

Established industrial uses include flexible and rigid insulation and cushioning foams, durable protective and decorative coatings, structural adhesives and elastic sealants, and abrasion-resistant cast or molded elastomers.

What is polyurethane made from?

Polyurethane is produced by reacting polyols with isocyanates; varying the polyol, isocyanate, and additives yields the full range from soft flexible foams to rigid foams, coatings, and elastomers. It is supplied in primary forms under HS 3909.50.

What grades of polyurethane do you supply?

Polyurethane materials are formulation- and application-specific (foam, coating, adhesive, sealant, elastomer systems). Specify your end-use and required form, and request the CoA and SDS to confirm the material meets your processing requirements before purchase.

How is bulk polyurethane quoted?

Bulk pricing depends on the system, form, packaging, and volume. Submit a bulk RFQ describing your application and quantity for a current quote with CoA and SDS; we do not publish list prices.
