Application of polyurethane in various industries
If we want to define polyurethane simply, we can say that polyurethane is a type of polymer (polymers) that is obtained from the reaction of isocyanate with polyol (alcohols). These materials are produced in the form of polymers with a chain structure and are used in various industries due to their diverse and adjustable features.
Application of polyurethane in automobile manufacturing
The use of polyurethane in the automotive industry is very wide and diverse. It is used in the creation of comfort foams for car seats, but in addition, it is also used in car bodies, doors, bumpers, windows and roofs. Polyurethane helps improve mileage by reducing weight, improving economy. Fuel, proper insulation helps to absorb sound, passenger comfort and high resistance to corrosion.
One of the most common uses of polyurethane in automobile manufacturing is the production of various parts such as fenders, bumpers, spoilers, steering wheels, air ducts, floor mats, and seats. The use of polyurethane as a substitute for heavy metals in some components. Automotive, such as interior panels, helps to improve performance and reduce weight. Polyurethanes produced from injection reaction are also used in automotive parts. This type of polyurethane is used to increase shock absorption in fenders, bumpers and spoilers without increasing weight.
The use of polyurethane in the shipping industry
✅ Ship floor side straps: Polyurethane is used as a suitable alternative to traditional materials in the construction of side straps and ship bottoms. These ropes have high resistance, flexibility and durability compared to alternative materials.
✅ Coating and insulation: Polyurethane as a coating on different parts of ships such as anti-erosion coating, insulation against water, and resistance to Weather conditions are used.
✅ Navigation equipment and spare parts: Polyurethane is used in the production of navigation equipment such as flags, shoes and spare parts for ships due to its resistance to wear and chemicals.
✅ Security equipment: From the use of polyurethane in the shipping industry, we can mention the production of security equipment such as safety rolls, and anti-slip surface paintings to increase safety in ships.
