The marine industry is an important player in the development of innovative solutions for the sea, and polyurethane (PUR) is a material that can support this development. PUR opens the door to lightweight components and sustainable options that are essential in efforts to make maritime operations more efficient and environmentally friendly.
With PUR, the marine industry can design tailored lightweight solutions that at the same time maintain high strength and durability.
- Customized components
- Water resistant
- Torsional stability
Customized components
With PUR, we can help the marine industry design custom components to suit the specific needs of their projects. The unique material enables the production of lightweight solutions that at the same time maintain high strength and durability. This weight reduction is critical, especially when it comes to the construction and refurbishment of ships, where performance and fuel efficiency are key factors.
The use of PUR can be seen in many aspects of marine construction, from hull design to internal installations. By choosing this material, you can optimize operational efficiency and long-term durability.
Future prospects for the marine industry with PUR
The integration of PUR in marine projects opens up new opportunities in innovation and efficiency. From specially designed lightweight components to sustainable solutions, PUR can play a central role in shaping future maritime development.
Together we can work towards a more sustainable and efficient future at sea. We look forward to collaborating with the marine industry and investigating how PUR can contribute to future projects.
Polyurethane products
Work with polyurethane foam
Rigid polyurethane foam (PUR foam) is a thermosetting plastic known for its safe handling and use. This material has a number of advantages that make it a popular choice in various industrial and construction applications. One of the most notable features of rigid PUR foam is its ease of handling. It can be easily cut, shaped and adapted to different applications without the need for advanced equipment or technical skills. This makes it suitable for DIY projects as well as professional applications.
PUR foam is also known for its low weight in relation to its strength and insulation properties. This makes it easy to transport and install, while providing excellent insulation, making it ideal for insulating walls, ceilings, floors in buildings, as well as pipes and technical installations.
Another important advantage of rigid PUR foam is its resistance to moisture and mold growth. This makes it a reliable choice in wet rooms and other environments where humidity can be a concern.
Finally, PUR foam is known for its energy efficiency. It provides excellent thermal insulation, which helps to reduce energy consumption and maintain comfortable temperatures indoors. This makes it a greener choice, as it can help reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
Overall, rigid polyurethane foam is a versatile and reliable material that combines ease of handling, strength, insulation and durability. It is a favorite in the building and construction industry and provides an effective solution for a wide range of applications.
Safety when foaming polyurethane foam
Working with ready-made foam does not require any special safety measures. The situation is different if the work consists of foaming polyurethane, i.e. produce polyurethane foam by mixing the raw materials isocyanate and polyol.
From August 24th 2023, appropriate training will be required before industrial or commercial use of products containing more than 0.1% by weight of isocyanates.
Only persons who have undergone special training may work with polyurethane foaming. The education is available at institutions for vocational education, e.g. AMU centers and technical schools.
Employers or self-employed persons who use the products themselves or weld must also have undergone the training before starting work. Everyone who works with isocyanate must undergo a two-day course. In addition, all employees who work with isocyanates in a way that may involve an increased risk of being exposed to the substance must in future complete a new AMU course on personal safety. The course has a duration of 1 day.
