Compression Characterization of Polyurethane Foams with Different Formulations of Polyol and MDI

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rigid polyurethane (PU) foams were prepared with palm oil based polyols (POP) and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) in order to archieve rigid formulations. The effect of the different amount of MDI (1 wt.%, 1.1 wt.% and 2 wt.%) were studied in density, compressive strength and energy absorption. It was found that the higher compressive strength of the PU foams showed at 1.604 MPa whereas the amount of MDI increased to 1.1 wt. %. The increased amount of MDI to 2 wt.% showed the higher value in density (0.0531 kg/m3) and energy absorption with 46.490 J for 70 % displacement.
