isocyanatebased
Isocyanate-based materials are polymers and resins that incorporate isocyanate functional groups, typically -NCO, which react with hydroxyl, amine, or water to form urethane or urea linkages. The term usually refers to polyurethane systems, but can also include polyurea and related polymers derived from isocyanates.
Chemistry and forms: Polyurethanes are created by reacting di- or polyisocyanates with polyols, sometimes with chain
Applications: Rigid polyurethane foams are common in insulation and construction, while flexible foams are used in
Safety and handling: Isocyanates can be irritants and sensitizers, particularly affecting the respiratory system. Workplace exposure
Overview: Isocyanate-based materials offer a broad range of customizable properties for industrial, construction, and consumer applications,
