(Nitrogen/Argon Gas Setup)



Polyurethane raw materials are moisture sensitive. The head space in containers must be purged with dry nitrogen or argon gas.



Material Selection Guide



Polyurethane casting elastomer compounds have a few different types. Proper materials are chosen based on the required physical properties, environmental stability, processing requirements, and some other factors specific to each application.



Mixing Instructions
(For Room-Temperature-Cure Systems)



Room-Temperature-Cure polyurethane casting systems are relatively easy to process. With a smaller initial investment in molds and tools, you can start making molded parts with this type material.



Adhesion of Polyurethane Resin to Various Surfaces



Polyurethane casting resin compounds can be use with a variety of inserts for many different applications. The surface energy of substrate effects the adhesion property of polyurethane resin to the substrate.



Simple Guide for Flexible Foam Molding



Northstar Polymers formulates and manufacturers chemical raw materials to make polyurethane flexible foam products. This document outlines the molding process to make flexible foam products.



Dispensing Machine Information



Two-part polyurethane casting resin systems may be processed manually without using a dispensing machine. However, for a higher production quantity and for some specialty applications, you may need to use a meter-dispensing machine to process the 2-part polyurethane casting resin materials.
