Why Modern Polyurethane Formulations Depend on Functional Polymers Instead of Conventional Modifiers
Polyurethane materials have evolved far beyond their original role as simple coatings, foams, and elastomers. Today, they are expected to withstand aggressive chemicals, repeated mechanical loading, extreme temperatures, and years of outdoor exposure while maintaining consistent performance. As these expectations continue to rise, the chemistry behind polyurethane formulations has also changed. Instead of relying solely…
