Polyurethane system makes microscopes lighter/safer.High-performance materials like the lightweight Baydur 110 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. system are said to be ideal for use in the field of operating microscopes op·er·at·ing microscope n. See surgical microscope. , such as the Leica Microsystems F40 operating microscope. Leica utilized Baydur 110 polyurethane for all six housing components in its microscope. Baydur 110 molded parts have thin walls, making them lightweight while still extremely stiff, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the company. These properties enable engineers to avoid using a sheet metal or aluminum framework, which would have made the microscope arm significantly heavier. Another advantage of Baydur 110 is said to be the excellent flowability of the liquid polyurethane components. The Baydur mixture is capable of reaching remote corners of the mold at low pressure, generally under 10 bar. This means that even complex product geometries such as ribbing, apertures or undercuts can be realized easily in a single step, according to the company. Bayer MaterialScience Bayer MaterialScience (BMS) is an independent subgroup within Bayer AG. It was created as part of the restructuring of Bayer AG from the former business group Bayer Polymers, with certain of its activities being spun off to Lanxess AG.
