Aug 20The Key to Repairing & Rebuilding Polyurethane Pumps
- August 27, 2020
You Already Know What Your Polyurethane Pumps Can Achieve
When you made the decision to invest in a particular polyurethane pump, you knew what it would be capable of and how it would benefit your production. Over time, you and your team came to realize those benefits. But as time wore on, and the wear on your pumps did as well, their performance and condition likely began to take a dip. Perhaps material was getting stuck, or perhaps corrosion or other negative effects became more apparent.

Jul 20Polyurethane Metering Systems: Customization is the Key
- July 15, 2020
Polyurethane Metering Systems are the Heart of Every Production Environment
As the regulation and flow system between material storage and the mix head that disperses that material, the success of every polyurethane application centers on the performance and reliability of these machines. Because these systems play such an important role in your facilities and production chain, it’s critical that they be precisely configured to your needs.

- June 22, 2020
Why 2-Step Polyurethane Testing is So Critical for Application Success
Across the world, polyurethane material is in use in countless products and applications that businesses and consumers need and rely on every day. In each situation, the polyurethane mixture used to create the products must be developed to meet the end product performance characteristics. Chemical suppliers such as Dow, Covestro, and BASF engineer these formulations to address both external pressures from the elements like temperature, moisture, and heat and internal pressure such as cellular structure, composition, any gas nucleation used, and so on. In order to achieve success in these applications, the first step of polyurethane testing is dependent on the chemical suppliers.

May 20The World is Starting Up Again — How Will Your Equipment Fare?
The stay-at-a-home orders are beginning to lift and people are slowly returning to their places of work. Throughout that time, the polyurethane equipment that many companies rely on for their production has sat dormant, or depending on your business, perhaps with a reduced number of cells in operation. As a result, you may find that equipment needs to be tuned, adjusted, or even repaired due to its inactivity.

Mar 20How Bulk Polyurethane Can Help Grow Your Business
- March 16, 2020
Looking for Cost Efficiency? It’s Time to Consider Bulk Polyurethane
Over the past several years, the polyurethane market has risen consistently in value by around 5 percent annually. The reason for this is due to the benefits of polyurethane itself. As an incredibly lightweight yet durable material, polyurethane is high in demand in numerous industries and markets. Its affordability compared to other more costly materials also makes it a strategic solution for companies looking to maximize margins on their production. But despite these advantages, it’s becoming more and more important to invest in bulk polyurethane.

Feb 20Chemical Metering Systems: The Production Control Center
- February 18, 2020
What Are Chemical Metering Systems?
Whether your organization is in the aerospace, automotive, medical, or sporting goods industry, everything that occurs in your production environment is controlled and regulated in some way. When it comes to polyurethane processing, much of that control is set and monitored by a chemical metering system. These devices control how much material is distributed from a polyurethane storage system (such as a bulk chemical storage tank) to the mix head, where the material is then sprayed, poured, or otherwise distributed onto a specific surface. Chemical metering systems also control key aspects of polyurethane mixing ratios.Read more

Jan 20Why Invest in Chemical Holding Tanks?
- January 16, 2020
Tired of Those Annoying 55-Gallon Drums and Totes? Go with Chemical Holding Tanks Instead
You’re not alone. For years, companies that manufacture products using polyurethane or that apply polyurethane in other applications have been ordering, hauling, storing, and handling material in 55-gallon drums rather than chemical holding tanks. For companies with more significant production demands, this inefficiency was upsized into significantly larger 270-gallon totes. Depending on overall production volume, companies might have anywhere from dozens to hundreds or even thousands of these drums in their facilities throughout their footprint.

Dec 19The Key to Mixing Polyurethane: Precision and Consistency
- December 16, 2019
A Material for Every Market
Polyurethane is one of the most customizable materials available in markets today. Whereas other materials allow for significant customization for appearance purposes only, polyurethane can acquire a number of different properties. By mixing polyol and isocyanate in specific ratios and combining it with other chemicals, companies can achieve remarkable results.Read more
