Castable Polyurethane Elastomers, Second Edition by I.R. Clemitson

by Ian R. Clemitson

Currently in the polyurethane industry, the suppliers of the raw materials give information on how to process materials without explaining why these recommendations are being made. Castable Polyurethane Elastomers provides an understanding of the background of such recommendations and how they achieve desired outcomes. This book discusses the production of polyurethane components from theoretical and practical aspects. Addressing health and safety issues, the text progresses from raw materials to the production of prepolymers, covering the different types of available systems, the reasons for choosing the right system on micro and macro levels, as well as curing and post curing operations.
