Polyuréthane
L'Uréthane est tout composé produit par la réaction d'un isocyanate et d'un alcool conformément à la formule suivante :
R-N=C=O + H-O-Q →
H / R-N \ C=O / Q-O
Although the reaction had been known for some decades, it was not until 1937 that Otto Bayer discovered how to make a useful plastic out of polyisocyanate and polyol.
Urethane technology was brought to America in 1953 by Jean-Pierre Abbat and Dr. Fritz Hartmann.
Polyurethane can be made in a variety of textures and hardnesses by varying the particular monomers used and adding other substances. It is used in adhesives, elastomers, foams, seals, gaskets, and hard parts.
