Because of these excellent material properties, designers can reduce the cross-sectional area if needed to produce the same material properties while achieving weight and cost savings.
Polyurethane chemistry can also produce UV-stable resins called aliphatic systems. I-beams, poles, tubes, and other custom shapes can be easily run in one process for solar frames, railings, and other outdoor products; Maintain the desired appearance at an optimized total cost.
Polyurethane resin systems are styrene-free and virtually free of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), making them more environmentally friendly than standard polyester resin systems.
The automotive industry is constantly evolving and revolutionizing, and composites are leading the way. The path forward is paved with strategic partnerships with the best players in resins, coatings and sealants and the application of these chemistries to pultrusion and molding.
Whether it's an internal application that utilizes weight reduction, energy absorption, or corrosion resistance, or an external application that requires a combination of UV stability, engineering and process engineers can meet the design needs of our customers.
Polyurethane's strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and non-conductive properties make it an excellent material choice for a wide range of automotive and moving parts. Specifically, polyurethane is a better choice than aluminum for the tray portion that supports electric vehicle (EV) batteries.
