Rigid polyurethane
Rigid polyurethane: the versatile material for every application
Rigid polyurethane is a versatile material that finds use in a wide range of sectors, from construction to the automotive industry, from furniture to the emergency transport sector.
Characteristics
Rigid polyurethane is a thermosetting material, meaning it cannot be melted or reshaped once it has hardened. It comes with two types of density: high or low. High density, it has a closed cell cellular structure which makes the piece high-performance and durable over time. Low density, however, it has an open cell cellular structure which makes the piece light and an excellent thermal and acoustic insulator.
Advantages
The main advantages of rigid polyurethane are:
- Versatility: Can be used to create a wide range of components, from the simple geometric shape to the most complex piece.
- Resistance: it is a robust and durable material, capable of withstanding mechanical, chemical and environmental stress.
- Insulation: it is an excellent thermal and acoustic insulator.
- Easy Processing: Can be easily processed by CNC machines and 3D printers.
Applications
Rigid polyurethane is used in a wide range of applications, including:
- Buildings: thermal and acoustic insulation of walls, ceilings and floors.
- Cars: spoilers, bumpers, moldings, interior panels.
- Furnishings: furniture, furnishing accessories, coverings.
Car spoilers
FLEXPUR specializes in the molding of car spoilers with its own molds. Rigid polyurethane spoilers are light and resistant, and offer excellent value for money.
Following this investment, FLEXPUR managed to conquer a large share of the market thanks also to the online sale of its spoilers via the website www.spoileritalia.it and the shops on Ebay.
Gripping base
FLEXPUR has a system suitable for applying a primer on the molded piece. This treatment improves the strength of the adhesive, ensuring a longer life of the component.
