Description: Polyols are the largest volume raw material used in polyurethanes. Cost and Performance are the two biggest factors for determining the best polyol for a specific polyurethane application. The polyol’s reactivity, based on the position of the OH groups, the ester or ether chemistry, the linearity, and the aromatic vs. aliphatic chemistry all play a part in defining PU properties and performance for a particular polyurethane application. This webinar is designed to provide the polyurethane formulator with a fundamental understanding of how these factors should be considered when formulating polyurethanes from a Structure/Property perspective. The webinar content includes: # Discussions of molecular architecture # Polyol types and their molecular structure : Polyether polyols, Polyester Polyols, Specialty polyols # Advantages and Disadvantages of polyol types # Morphology and molecular motion # Hydrogen bonding within polyurethanes # Discussion of specific polyurethane examples and the measurement of their physical properties

Description: Moisture cured, one component, reactive polyurethane (PU) adhesives are formulated using an isocyanate and amorphous and crystalline polyols of varying composition which are reacted to form a polyurethane prepolymers. These prepolymers can be liquid or they can be solid at room temperature. If they are solid at room temperature, they are considered reactive hot melt adhesives. All reactive PU adhesives contain residual isocyanate functionality that is reactive with moisture that comes from the atmosphere and/or the surface to be bonded. Reactive PU adhesives contain catalysts to promote the moisture cure and also contain other additives to control rheology, open time and strength of the resulting polyurethane polymer. The choice of polyols, based on performance requirements is an important factor in formulating any polyurethane system. Designing reactive, one component adhesives is no different. Understanding how isocyanate and polyol structure affect reactivity and the physical properties of the formulated adhesive is an important aspect of formulation, which this webinar is intended to provide. The presentation includes: An introduction to adhesive considerations, Comparison of PUR adhesive systems, the chemistry of isocyanates and polyols, Formulating from a Structure / Property perspective, Summary of important concepts

Description: There is no polyurethane monomer leading to polyurethane polymers. This is in contrast to a polymer like polyethylene which is derived from the polymerization of ethylene monomer and results in a homopolymer of linear or branched structure. Polyurethane polymers result from the addition reactions of isocyanate molecules of different types reacting with active hydrogen functional molecules or polymers that result in phase separated, block copolymers. The size, the shape and the intermolecular interactions of the isocyanates and the polyols used to make polyurethanes affects how phase separated segments will order themselves and how they will move in relation to each other, which will dictate the physical properties of that polyurethane polymer. This webinar is designed to provide an overview of how the selection of isocyanate structure and reactivity, combined with the proper selection of polyols, allows the polyurethane formulator to design and tailor the physical properties of polyurethanes for specific applications.

Description: Isocyanates are a family of relatively low molecular weight, reactive chemicals used in the making of polyurethanes. They are primarily derived from amine molecules which are phosgenated to convert the amine into an isocyanate group. Other non-phosgene methods of making isocyanates are an area of active research. This webinar will discuss the raw materials and chemical process used to make the most common isocyanates used in polyurethanes.

Description: Viscoelasticity is a term used to describe materials that exhibit both viscous flow and elastic spring back when a force is applied to them. Viscous flow is a time dependent phenomenon, and an elastic response is instantaneous after a stress has been removed from a material. Viscoelastic materials exhibit both of these properties. The rigid and flexible domains of polyurethanes contribute to their viscoelastic behavior. This webinar is designed to give a fundamental understanding of viscoelasticity as it is related to polyurethane morphology and the isocyanate and polyol building blocks which make up polyurethane polymers.

Description: A catalyst is a compound used to affect the rate of a reaction from reactants to final product. Catalysts lower the activation energy required to achieve an excited molecular state, which allows the reaction to proceed more easily and with less energy. The primary job of the catalyst or combination of catalysts in a polyurethane reaction is to control the reaction profile. Polyurethane (PU) catalysts can be generally divided into two types, gelling catalysts and blowing catalysts. Gelling catalysts promote the reaction of the isocyanates with hydroxyl groups, and blowing catalysts are used in polyurethane foam systems and are more selective to catalyzing the reaction of the isocyanate with water to produce foam. This webinar is intended to give a fundamental overview of how PU catalysts work.

Description: Polyurethane surfactants are utilized across a broad range of polyurethane applications including footwear, mattresses foams, automotive interiors, and foam insulation used in refrigerators and construction. The function of a surfactant can be to enhance chemical compatibility of isocyanates and polyols, improve cell nucleation and stabilization and to prevent coalescence. Surfactants work by preserving the thermodynamically unstable state of a foam while it is rising by affecting surface forces until the polyurethane polymerizes far enough to maintain the cell structure. This webinar is intended to give a fundamental overview of how polyurethane surfactants work.
