Technical insights from working formulators
Short, practical write-ups on the chemistry and regulations that decide whether a polyurethane formulation ships.
What you will find here
Technical insights are plain-English explainers written by the same chemists who run the bench work — no marketing gloss, no borrowed spec sheets. Each piece names the trade-off, the test method, and the formulation lever that moves the result.
- Regulatory shifts: TCPP phase-out, halogen-free FR routes, VOC and catalyst limits
- Performance fundamentals: R-value vs. K-factor, aging, Tg and viscoelastic response
- Renewable content: primary-OH soy polyols, ASTM D6866 measurement, USDA BioPreferred
- Process reality: demold time, cream/gel profiles, mixing and metering effects

Bring us your toughest PU challenge
Start with a non-confidential summary. We'll take it from there.
Tell us the performance target in non-confidential terms. If it is a fit we put an NDA in place, review your existing formulation and specification, then move to bench development, testing, customer trial and scale-up.
