Crosslinkers for polyurethanes

Crosslinkers for polyurethanes are fundamental chemical compounds in the formulation of polyurethanes. These agents, often based on isocyanates or polyols, facilitate the creation of cross-links between polymer chains, strengthening the molecular structure and thus improving the strength and durability of polyurethanes.

Strengthening the molecular structure: crosslinkers reinforce the molecular structure of polyurethanes by creating cross-links, improving their strength and durability.

Improved wear resistance: they contribute significantly to increasing the wear resistance of polyurethanes, prolonging the useful life of the final products.

Increased thermal stability: They improve the thermal stability of polyurethanes, ensuring consistent performance in a variety of environmental conditions.

Increase in mechanical properties: crosslinkers improve the mechanical properties of polyurethanes, providing greater tensile and compression resistance.

Reduction of porosity: they help reduce the porosity of polyurethanes, improving the impermeability and chemical resistance of the final products.

Versatility in applications: its versatility allows the formulation of polyurethanes with specific properties, adapting them to various industrial applications.

Compatibility with other additives: Crosslinkers are compatible with a variety of additives, allowing the creation of custom formulations to meet specific requirements.
