Industrial Process Economics Reports About Polyurethane (PU) Polyurethanes (PU) are a group of polymers with great industrial importance. Its most popular endproducts are flexible and rigid foams. Flexible foams are used for cushioning, upholstered furniture, and automobile seats, while rigid foams are used to produce insulation for roofs, refrigerators, and freezers.
Understand
The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific
Polyurethane
Polyurethane production processes. Each report presents one-time costs associated with the
production costs
construction of an industrial plant and the continuing costs associated with the daily operation of such a plant. General information included in our reports is presented below.
