• Abrasion resistant
  Parts made of polyurethane will often outwear other materials by a margin of 5 to 50/one when severe abrasion is a factor. It has been proven to be vastly superior to rubber plastics and metal in many applications.
  Oil and solvent resistant
  Polyurethane has excellent resistance to oils, solvents, fats, greases and gasoline.
• Load bearing capacity
  Polyurethane has a higher load-bearing capacity than any conventional rubber. Because of this characteristic, it is an ideal material for load wheels, heavy duty couplings, metal-forming pads, shock pads, expansion joints and machine mounts.
• Tear resistant
  Tear-strength ranges between 500-100 Ibs./linear inch, which is far superior to rubbers. As a result, urethane is often used as drive belts, diaphragms, roll covers, cutting pads, gaskets and chute liners.
• Weather resistant
  Polyurethane has outstanding resistance to oxygen, ozone, sunlight and general weather conditions. *additional protection with elastomeric coatings
• Excellent noise abatement properties
  The hard urethanes are now being used as gears in products where engineers desire sound reduction. The soft urethanes are used to replace rubbers for improved sound/vibration dampening.
• Flex-Life
  Most formulations offer extremely high flex-life and can be expected to outlast other elastomer materials where this feature is an important requirement. Dust boots, bellows, diaphragms, belts, couplings and similar products are made from urethane for this reason.
• Electrical properties
  Polyurethane has excellent electrical insulating properties and is used successfully in many moulded wire and cable harness assemblies.
• Heat and cold resistant
  Continuous use above 225°F is not recommended nor is urethane recommended in hot water over 175°F. At low temperatures, polyurethane will remain flexible down to -90°F.
   

Roofing Application | Click Here for Rebate Details |

Polyurethane for roofing is sprayed onto the roof as a liquid, it forms a single continuous structure that is seamless and very stable. SPF requires a clean surface for proper application. It must be dry, free of contaminants like oil, and properly fastened to the substrate in accordance with the proper building codes. A protective elastomeric top coat is required which is typically sprayed on as well, but it is also possible to be applied with hand or power rollers.

Foam roofing has many advantages over traditional roofing methods for example:

• Seamless
  Polyurethane foam is applied as a liquid, creating a single monolithic membrane that covers the entire roof. There are no seams or joints, the source of the majority of leaks in traditional roofs.
• Flexible
  The foam can be sprayed onto virtually any surface, irregularly shaped roofs and protrusions are readily taken care of.
• Lightweight
  Foam roofing typically weighs around 50 lbs. per square, versus 800 lbs. for a built-up roof and 100 lbs. for ballasted single-ply roofs.
• Thermal Insulation
  SPF has the best insulating properties available for commercial construction today.
• Sustainability
  Foamed roofs require a minimum of upkeep, creating little waste and have an indefinite lifespan.

Installation
The "A" and "B" components of SPF are mixed at the spray gun, and are applied in what are known as "passes". A pass is a single application of foam and can vary in thickness from 1/2 inch to 1 inch or so. Therefore, SPF roofs that are several inches thick are applied in multiple passes.

Durability
When most people hear of a "foam" roof, they automatically think of the type of soft foam similar to that used for seat cushions and are concerned that they won't be able to walk on it without causing problems or damaging the roof. Foam roofs are very durable and can handle foot and construction traffic as well as other roofs. They are still susceptible to damage from dropped tools just as any other roof but can often be repaired with some simple polyurethane caulking.

Polyurethane Foam is used in numerous marine applications. The high strength to weight ratio plus its inherent resistance to gasoline and oil makes it an excellent choice as an integral part of the manufacture of boats, buoys, docks, and flotation devices. The adhesiveness of this product is superb. In addition, a cubic foot of a nominal two pound density Polyurethane Foam will support approximately sixty ( 60 ) pounds of dead weight in water. Polyurethane Foam can be sprayed or poured and systems can be tailored to meet most application requirements.

Polyurethane can be created to replicate traditional brick and stone design patterns in popular colors, finishes and textures. External walls and internal fixtures can be created with polyurethane.

Polyurethane can be a great alternative for landscaping rocks, walkways, or other visual additions to your property. Another great use for this product is the ability to hide common eyesores of the property such as:
 

• Wells/Septic
• Septic Tank Risers
• Chlorinator Pipes
• Utility Boxes
• Electric Transformers
• Telephone Boxes
• Manholes
• Motors, Pumps
• Backflow Preventers
• Surveillance Equipment
• Pest control boxes for restaurants and hotels,
• Flood Lights
   

Polyurethane injection can be performed from the inside of the foundation wall, eliminating the destruction of landscaping. There are no health concerns with this material as it is non-toxic and odorless. Using a pressure seal method insures all cracks and leaks have been properly sealed and isolated effectively.

Polyurethanes vast versatility lends themselves to on-site or studio production of needed settings. The savings can be considerable when compared to the cost involved to shoot the actual setting. Polyurethanes can be formulated to provide physical properties for structural applications such as facades to lightweight boulders to the replication of tree bark, to exacting duplications of extinct animals are possible with Polyurethanes.

Polyurethane foam can help save money on equipment costs, too. With polyurethane foam insulation, you may be able to downsize your investment in the mechanical heating and cooling equipment you need. For example, in the polyurethane foam house, a 60,000 BTU furnace could provide the same indoor comfort level as a more costly 80,000 BTU unit. Polyurethane foam is a smart investment, right from the start.

• Polyurethane foam completely and efficiently insulates and seals around penetrations through the building framework, such as electrical outlets and plumbing fixtures.
• Polyurethane foam creates a protective thermal envelope around your living space.
• Polyurethane foam provides your home with a fully sealed, seamless barrier against wind and the intrusion of air and thermal driven moisture.
