PolyUrethanes Recycle and Recovery Council.Recent tests by the PolyUrethanes polyurethanes (pŏl'ēy  r`əthānz), group of plastics that may be either thermosetting or thermoplastic. Polyurethane can be made into both flexible and rigid foams. Recycle & Recovery Council
(PURRC) indicate that it may be economically feasible, as well as
technically possible, to recycle reground flexible polyurethane foam Noun 1. polyurethane foam - a foam made by adding water to polyurethane plasticspolyfoam polyurethan, polyurethane - any of various polymers containing the urethane radical; a wide variety of synthetic forms are made and used as adhesives or plastics or by adding it to the production of flexible polyurethane polyurethane Any of a class of very versatile polymers that are made into flexible and rigid foams, fibres, elastomers (elastic polymers), surface coatings, and adhesives. slabstock foam. Pilot scale trial runs found that the addition of reground flexible foam has only minimal effect on the processing and physical properties of the resulting flexible polyurethane foam. "While additional investigations are called for, and full-scale commercial runs must be made before the true potential of regrind addition is understood, it appears that adding up to 20% reground flexible polyurethane foam to the production of slabstock foam represents a viable method of recycling reground flexible polyurethane foam," said John Quinlan Bishop John Quinlan (b. October 19 1826, Cloyne, Ireland - d. March 9 1883, Alabama) was a Roman Catholic bishop and the second Bishop of Mobile. He emigrated to the United States in 1844 and was ordained to the priesthood for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cincinnati on of Arco Chemical and PURRC Flexible Foam Task Group chairman. As a next step, PURRC plans to conduct additional testing on higher density foams.
