Polyurethane Technology

Introduction to polyurethane Chemistry and materials of polyurethane manufacture: basic reaction, cross linking in polyurethane, important building blocks for polyurethane (isocyanates, polyols, amines and additives) the manufacture of polyurethanes (the process, parameters and controls).

Polyurethane processing basic design principles of polyurethane processing equipment, steps in the polyurethane processing Flexible foams‐(production, properties and application slab stock foam, carpet backing, flexible moulded foams & semi rigid moulded foams. Reinforced RIM: trends in the use of RIM and RRIM.

Rigid polyurethane foams chemistry of raw materials, manufacturing of rigid polyurethane (manufacturing of buns, panels, foaming of applications, moulded rigid foams), properties, relationship between production methods and properties‐ application of rigid polyurethane, Polyurethane skin integral foam‐ production, properties and applications.

Solid polyurethane materials polyurethane casting systems (cast elastomers and casting resins), thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers: productions / processing, properties and applications, polyurethane paints and coatings, adhesives builders, elastomer fibers, manufacture / processing and applications.

• Determination of composition and testing of polyurethane chemical compositions, detection methods, identification of functional groups, determination of properties of materials and products (Characterization, physical/mechanical, temperature dependence, chemical
• performance, combustibility) polyurethane and environment health and safety: making and using polyurethane safely.
