2. List of polyurethane applications - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_polyurethane...

   Industrial Insulation. Rigid polyurethane foam is used in various industries to provide thermal insulation to installations and pipes. In particular, the piping for district heating systems in Europe is primarily insulated using a pre-insulated pipes sandwich assembly composed of a steel heat service pipe, an insulating layer (polyurethane foam) and a polyethylene (PE) casing, which are bonded ...

3. Polyurethane foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane_foam

   An assortment of polyurethane foam products for cushioning and insulation. Polyurethane foam is a solid polymeric foam based on polyurethane chemistry. As a specialist synthetic material with highly diverse applications, polyurethane foams are primarily used for thermal insulation and as a cushioning material in mattresses, upholstered furniture or as seating in vehicles.

4. Foam rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_rubber

   Foam rubber (also known as cellular rubber, sponge rubber, or expanded rubber) is rubber that has been made with a foaming agent so that its structure is an air-filled matrix. Commercial foam rubber is generally made of synthetic rubber, natural latex, or polyurethane. Latex foam rubber, used in mattresses, is well known for its endurance.

5. Spray foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_foam

   Spray foam insulation or spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is an alternative to traditional building insulation such as fiberglass. A two-component mixture composed of isocyanate and polyol resin comes together at the tip of a gun, and forms an expanding foam that is sprayed onto roof tiles, concrete slabs, into wall cavities, or through holes ...

6. Reticulated foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulated_foam

   Robert A. Volz is credited with discovering the first process for making reticulated polyurethane foam in 1956 while working for the Scott Paper Company. [6] Production of reticulated polyurethane foam is a two-step process that begins with the creation of conventional (closed-cell) polyurethane foam, after which cell faces (or "windows") are removed.

7. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   For example, a 1-inch layer of closed-cell foam provides about the same insulation factor as 2 inches of open-cell foam. Closed-cell foam is very strong, and structurally reinforces the insulated surface. By contrast, open-cell foam is soft when cured, with little structural strength.

   “The term was first used to describe more energy-efficient clothes washers back in the late 1990s when the EPA issued new standards for designs that would reduce the amount of water used to wash ...

9. Polyurethane laminate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane_laminate

   Polyurethane laminate (PUL, thermal stretch, [1] fuzzy rubber [1]) is a compound fabric made by laminating a cloth fabric to one or both sides of a thin film of polyurethane. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Polyurethane laminated fabrics have a wide range of applications in medical, automotive and garment uses.
