PUR composites for boats.A new sprayable polyurethane composite technology from BASF BASF Bar Association of San Francisco (since 1872; San Francisco, California) BASF Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik (German chemical products company) BASF Builders Association of South Florida Corp., Wyandotte, Mich., is offered as an environmentally friendly, higher performing alternative to unsaturated polyesters for making pleasure-boat and fishing-boat hulls, hatches, and soft trim, as well as aerospace parts. These "P=U=R=E" structural laminating resins are described as "hybrids" that combine the toughness of polyurethane with the use of conventional peroxide initiators for polyesters. BASF's resins contain no styrene sty·rene n. A colorless oily liquid from which polystyrenes, plastics, and synthetic rubber are produced. Also called vinylbenzene. monomer monomer (mŏn`əmər): see polymer. monomer Molecule of any of a class of mostly organic compounds that can react with other molecules of the same or other compounds to form very large molecules (polymers). or other solvents, thus generating very low or zero VOC (Vertical Online Community) See vertical portal. and HAP HAP.

They reportedly can be sprayed with or without fillers or chopped glass, using existing equipment and tooling with hardly any modification. They also can be used with hand lay-up or closed-mold processes. The PUR composites boast higher impact resistance and faster production cycles than polyesters. They also have HDTs near 400 F vs. 180 to 250 F for standard polyesters. Tel: 800-BC-RESIN * PTDirect: 517FV |
