Advantages of Polyurethane

The following are some of the advantages of Polyurethane over other resins:

• Increased strength
• Improve transverse properties
• Elimination of mats reduces costs
• Highest fiber volume fraction
• Higher specific strength and stiffness
• Increased part complexity potential
• Reduced wall thicknesses
• Stronger profiles spanning greater distances
• Excellent impact resistance
• Excellent abrasion resistance
• Superior fabrication and fastening results
• Significantly higher screw pull out strength
• Excellent corosion resistance.
• Aliphatic, light stable resin
• High Tg resin available. – Tg > 280 ◦C !
• 10 % biobased standard resin – soybean-based resins also available
• No styrene, no peroxides
