Applications & Use Cases
- ▸ Serves as the film-forming base polymer in solvent- and water-borne coatings for coated fabrics, synthetic leather, and textile finishes, delivering a continuous flexible film with high abrasion resistance.
- ▸ Formulated into flexible and rigid foams from diisocyanate and polyether/polyester polyol systems for furniture cushioning, insulation, and construction panels.
- ▸ Used as an elastomer base for cast parts, rollers, wheels, and seals where toughness, elasticity, and chemical resistance are required in industrial manufacturing.
- ▸ Acts as the binder and adhesion-promoting resin in industrial paints, protective coatings, and laminating adhesives for construction and general manufacturing.
- ▸ Applied as a flexible topcoat or impregnation on technical textiles and apparel to provide waterproofing, breathability, and durable surface protection.

Appearance
Typically colorless to amber, or white when foamed
Form
Solid (cured film, foam, or elastomer); also supplied as a dispersion or solution
Odor
Faint / characteristic (typical)
Density
~1.03-1.20 g/cm3 for cast/solid PU (typical); flexible foam ~24-48 kg/m3
