Polyurethane (PU) is a material whose properties can be tailer fit to the intended application. Besides the widely used PU foams this material is more and more processed in a compact cell free appearance. The multitude of applications and processing techniques are a technological challenge for the processor. This is why the IKV operates an extensively equipped technical PU laboratory to enable a broad spectrum of investigations concerning this versatile material.

The applications of foams made of polyurethane (PU) are widely-used and extremely variable. The multitude of use, from flexible foams to insulation rigid foam or structural fibre reinforced parts, is also been shown in the large number of processing methods. These are technical challenges to the processor. Thus the IKV run an extensive equipped laboratory to enquire a wide range of questions of the industry since the early fifties.
