The Baydur® PUL family represents a cutting-edge range of highly reactive aromatic polyurethane (PU) resin systems consisting of Baydur® PUL polyols and Desmodur® isocyanates, all designed specifically for pultrusion applications. These systems enable high productivity and produce durable composite parts with excellent material properties. Ideal for reinforcement with rovings or continuous strand mats from glass and carbon fibers, Baydur® PUL resins offer superior stiffness, strength, thermal insulation, and corrosion resistance, making them a cost-effective alternative to traditional materials such as plastics, wood, and metals.

The pultrusion process combines shaping, fiber impregnation, and matrix curing into a single continuous operation and allows for efficient production of high-performing straight parts with constant cross-section. Learn more about the PU-pultrusion process with Baydur® PUL in the video below:

Higher line speeds, lower costs

Our innovative PU resins offer significant advantages for the pultrusion process, including low viscosity and high reactivity, which result in high line speed, improved productivity, and reduced manufacturing costs. In fact, our polyurethane pultrusion technology can save up to 20% on production costs compared to vinyl ester and epoxy systems.

More sustainable solutions available today

Covestro is dedicated to sustainability, offering Baydur® PUL resins as ISCC PLUS certified mass balance attributed products. These products have been attributed to feedstock originating from biomass, bio-waste and -residues, reducing the carbon footprint of the neat resin. Our mass balance solutions seamlessly integrate as drop-in replacements, requiring no technical modifications to existing production processes.
