  • Polyurethanes are linear polymers that have a molecular backbone containing carbonate groups (-NHCO2.) These groups, called urethane, are produced through a chemical reaction between a diisocyanate and a polyol. First developed in the late 1930s, polyurethanes are among the most versatile polymers in commercial production. They are used in building insulation, furniture, surface coatings, adhesives, solid plastics, athletic apparel, machinery joints, decorative ornaments and cornice mouldings. Polyurethanes can be produced in many different forms and are extremely effective in applications that require strength, flexibility, abrasion resistance, and shock absorbing qualities.
