Casting Rigid Polyurethane Foam

Description

Casting rigid polyurethane foam formulation, also known as polyurethane foam, is a versatile material that is widely used in various industries for its lightweight and rigid properties. It is produced by combining two liquid components: a polyol (resin) and an isocyanate (hardener). When these components are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs, resulting in the formation of a foam with a cellular structure.
