isosyanaattikomponentti
Isosyanaattikomponentti, often referred to as an isocyanate component, is a key ingredient in the production of polyurethanes. These compounds are characterized by the presence of one or more isocyanate functional groups (-N=C=O). Isocyanates are highly reactive and readily form urethane linkages when reacted with polyols, which are compounds containing hydroxyl groups (-OH). This reaction is the fundamental basis for creating a wide range of polyurethane materials, including foams, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers.
The specific properties of the resulting polyurethane are determined by the type of isocyanate and polyol
