Problems We Solve

Real-world challenges our polyurethanes are built to overcome.

At MCPU Polymer Engineering, we focus on solving the real-world challenges faced by polyurethane formulators and manufacturers. . From regulatory pressure to performance tradeoffs, — we’ve built our chemistry to help you push boundaries without compromise.

Struggling to Improve Fire Resistance Without Killing Performance?

Most flame retardant strategies degrade tensile strength or elongation. Our additives boost fire resistance while preserving performance.
