Polyurethane synthesis, wherein the urethane groups −NH−(C=O)−O− link the molecular units A kitchen sponge made of polyurethane foam . Polyurethane (/ ˌ p ɒ l i ˈ jʊər ə ˌ θ eɪ n,-j ʊəˈr ɛ θ eɪ n /; [1] often abbreviated PUR and PU) refers to a class of polymers composed of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links.
Open-cell (low density) polyurethane White or yellow. Expands to fill and seal cavity, but expands slowly, preventing damage to the wall. Resistant to water wicking, but permeable to water vapor. Fire resistant. Some types of polyurethane insulation are pour-able. Here are two commercial open-cell, low-density polyurethane products: Icynene
Moisture cured polyurethane–urea coatings have been made by reacting 1,2,3-triazole rich polyether polyols with HMDI at NCO/OH eq. ratio of 1.2 to obtain isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymers. The prepolymers were cured under atmospheric moisture to make polyurethane–urea free films.
Memory foam consists mainly of polyurethane with additional chemicals that increase its viscosity and density. It is often referred to as "viscoelastic" polyurethane foam, or low-resilience polyurethane foam . The foam bubbles or ‘cells’ are open, effectively creating a matrix through which air can move.
It’s not only getting more expensive to buy, but also to own a single-family home in the U.S. Bankrate’s 2024 Hidden Costs of Homeownership Study calculates it costs over $18,000 a year to ...

Peter Vanek, president of PVRK, a Southern California-based real estate consulting company, said his home was destroyed by a battery fire in 2023. His insurance initially estimated $350,000 for ...
A vacuum insulated panel (VIP) is a form of thermal insulation consisting of a gas-tight enclosure surrounding a rigid core, from which the air has been evacuated. It is used in building construction, refrigeration units, and insulated shipping containers to provide better insulation performance than conventional insulation materials.
