PURpohjaiset

PURpohjaiset is a Finnish term that translates to "based on PUR" or "PUR-based." It refers to materials or products that utilize polyurethane (PUR) as a primary component or binding agent. Polyurethane is a versatile polymer known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion and chemicals.

In construction, PURpohjaiset materials are commonly found in insulation foams, adhesives, and sealants. PUR insulation offers excellent thermal performance, contributing to energy efficiency in buildings. Its adhesive properties make it useful for bonding various construction materials, while its flexibility as a sealant allows it to accommodate movement in structures.

Beyond construction, PURpohjaiset products appear in a wide range of applications. This includes furniture upholstery, where PUR foam provides cushioning and support. In the automotive industry, PUR is used for seating, interior components, and coatings. It is also utilized in the manufacturing of footwear, coatings for textiles, and sporting goods due to its resilience and comfort. The specific properties of the final PURpohjaiset product can be tailored by adjusting the chemical composition of the polyurethane during its manufacturing process.
