Chemical compatibility table with polyurethane
Which products are compatible and offer chemical resistance with Polyurethane? Polyurethane (PUR or PU) is a polymer composed of organic units joined by carbamate or urethane bonds. Note that polyurethane is not a uniform class of material. The chemical resistances listed below must always be checked against the manufacturing data. Liquid Classification […]
Chemical compatibility table with epoxy
Which products are compatible and offer chemical resistance with Epoxy? Epoxy (polyepoxide) is an epoxide polymer that cures when mixed with a catalyzing or “hardening” agent. Epoxy resin has excellent electrical, thermal and chemical resistance. It is common to increase the strength of the epoxy with fibrous reinforcement or mineral fillers. The variety of combinations of epoxy resins and reinforcements […]
