LANXESS Urethane Systems are used in the most demanding applications and industries. Urethane elastomers are known for wear and abrasion resistance, toughness and load-bearing capability. Our innovative systems are also tailored to withstand the most harsh environments and to provide exceptional dynamic properties for those applications. Urethane coatings demand wear, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and UV resistance all for which LANXESS can offer solutions.
We pride ourselves on our innovation and technology leadership. LANXESS places strong focus on the sustainability of its products and has developed the broadest portfolio of Low Free (LF) isocyanate products – LF TDI, LF MDI, LF PPDI and LF HDI – which provide performance, processing and environmental, health, and safety advantages. We also offer a series of blocked-cure products and one-component systems for applications requiring a controlled cure.
Our elastomer products are used in a wide range of conversion processes, including open casting, centrifugal casting, RIBBON FLOW® rotational casting, injection molding and encapsulation. Our products can also be further formulated into Coatings, binders for Composites, Adhesives, Sealants and Foams.
Our products are based on Polyurethane chemistry. Polyurethanes are an extremely versatile family of materials which are utilized in multiple applications worldwide. The range includes thermoset polyurethane elastomers, coatings and dispersions, thermoplastics urethane elastomers and polyurethane foams. LANXESS Urethane Systems has the in-house technical ability to develop, manufacture and support all of these chemistries.
Our intellectual knowledge is ‘system building’ – we build systems. We chemically build prepolymers, we block isocyanates, we formulate systems and we match them with the best performing curatives, crosslinkers and polyols.
The term ‘prepolymer’ refers to a monomer or system of monomers that have been reacted to an intermediate molecular weight state. This material is capable of further polymerization by reactive groups to a fully cured, high molecular weight state.
