The three characteristics of polyurethane

Polyurethane is a plastic material that is perfect for making many design objects and furnishings because it is:

• Malleable
• Lightweight
• Resistant

These three characteristics of polyurethane allow full freedom of artistic expression to create very special shapes that can withstand considerable stress and pressure.

Polyurethane and design are a successful combination, as demonstrated by the many designers who make increasing use of it in sectors such as furniture (bookcases, lamps, kitchen extractor hoods), coffee machines, medical devices, fitness machines and much more. Polyurethane has excellent thermal and electrical insulation characteristics, resistance to moisture and high and low temperatures, and is also chemically inert to many organic and inorganic substances. Similarly, its lightness and the possibility of having special finishes allows you to play with aesthetics and design.

Polyurethane is indeed a plastic material, but it remains among the greenest because it is produced with one of the lowest energy expenditures, thus conserving energy resources. Here, too, there is a move towards a greater focus on the planet and its resources.
