Dow Hyperlast works with its customers to develop the products they need - an approach which has earned it accolades such as the Queen’s Award for Technological Achievement and which ensures that projects are progressed quickly from ideas to manufacture. Polyurethanes are impressively versatile materials, varying from soft and flexible to hard and rigid, with an infinite variety in between.
Toughness resilience,
wear resistance, flexibility and tolerance of harsh and
aggressive environments make them ideal for a huge
range of applications. Tonnes protect sub-sea pipelines
and a few grammes adds vital performance in Formula
One racing cars. A spray-on coat can withstand abrasion
from tumbling aggregates or provide vital waterproofing
and concrete protection. Simple mouldings add elegance
to furniture and extra ingredients make composites with
ever more extraordinary properties.
Dow Hyperlast products are used for a multitude of applications which include anti-slip coatings to ballistics protection; electrical insulation; furniture edging; materials handling; rapid prototyping; security protection; shock, noise and vibration reduction; and concrete protection.
Understanding form and function, a willingness to
work closely with the customer and skills in asking the
right questions in terms that engineers use, means new
projects start fast and progress rapidly to full-scale
production.
