Industrial Urethanes specialises in polyurethane products for the automotive industry where their comfort, strength, durability and light weight saves energy and costs. Polyurethanes also provide excellent energy and sound absorption. This is a particularly exacting market as materials are carefully selected to meet tough specifications.
Polyurethane systems used in the automotive industry are based on MDI (Diisocyanato Diphenylmethane) technology.
When sandwiched between metal, paper, plastics or wood, polyurethane rigid foam plays an important role in the construction industry. Such composites can replace conventional structures or brick, cement, wood or metal, particularly when these latter materials are used in combination with other insulating materials such as polystyrene foam, glass fibre or mineral wool. Polyurethane foam is the most effective insulation material available - in residential housing they...
Rigid polyurethane foams offer unrivalled technical advantages in the thermal insulation of refrigerators, other domestic polyurethane appliances and refrigerated transport. It is the most efficient commercially available insulator, thereby saving energy, and it saves weight and cost in materials used for construction by providing mechanical strength. As a result, modern refrigerators have more storage space whilst being smaller and lighter than their predecessors and provide superior...
Polyurethanes are used in flexible coatings for textiles and adhesives for film and fabric laminates. Polyurethane paints and coatings give the highest wear resistance to surfaces such as floors and the outer skins of aircraft.
Polyurethanes provide a surface that is wear resistant, sound absorbent and easy to clean. Some polyurethanes are used intensively on steel and concrete structures to protect them from...

We provide customers with highly versatile polyurethane flooring solutions that can be engineered for a diverse number of applications. Industrial flooring coatings need to provide long term protection as well as aesthetic, structural and safety functions. Specialized raw materials and development work can...
The market for cushioning materials is dominated by polyurethane flexible foams, although where strong - tough but decorative - integral-skinned flexible or rigid foam structures are needed, polyurethanes are also ideal. They are the most versatile furnishing material. In flexible form they are used in sofas, chairs and mattresses; in rigid form they can be moulded into an infinite variety of shapes and structures, providing a good substitute for wood and...
Polyurethanes are a key material in many mining applications and still have tremendous development potential. Enhanced material properties together with processing techniques that meet the specific needs of the mining industry are making an impact on both design and production. New materials and processing methods are being continually developed by Industrial Urethanes in a 3-way partnership with converters and the industry, to produce high quality, cost-effective solutions to...
In addition to the industrial uses of Polyurethane Technology, these products are also widely used in various recreational applications such as:
In the packaging field Polyurethane is used as a low density rigid foam to secure and protect your product. This foam can be custom moulded to fit the shape of your product.
New market development is an ongoing goal of Industrial Urethanes. A successful strategy to enter the surfactants market has led to the development of a range of customised surfactants for the mining, pulp and paper and other specialist process industries.
Our products are approved for use in food, they are non-ionic and can be tailor made.
These surfactants are mainly used as frothers and defoamers
