Polyurethane (PUR and/or PU) is a type of polymer that is composed of organic units joined by urethane links.

Polyurethane is formed from the reaction of chemicals known as isocyanates and a chemical compound known as polyols. Fully ‘cured’ polyurethane products are classified as being ‘inert and non-toxic’, meaning that the chemical reaction is fully complete.

The properties of polyurethane can be influenced by the types of isocyanates and the polyols used to make them. These can range from tough or rigid versions, through to long, flexible segments; with different characteristics being controlled by the polyol using cross-links - the term given to a bond that links one polymer chain to another.

It can be used to make high-performance products that are both strong and lightweight, as well as being durable and highly versatile. It is a key ingredient in several types of high-efficiency insulation materials (such as rigid foam insulation panels), as well as other construction applications such as paints, coatings, microcellular foam seals and gaskets, durable wheels and tires, sealants and adhesives.
