The presence of asbestos in a house is an environmental safety issue. Asbestos is a fibrous material that was used residentially for sound and heat insulation and fire protection. Asbestos is often found in houses, in pipe and duct insulation on heating systems, in sealers on heating boilers, in roofing […]
With the “FUTURA” technology, it is easy and fast to reproduce decorative elements and to reproduce ornamental pieces of various kinds. From one single original element, a mould can be obtained and various copies can then be constructed. The mould can be made using the spray technique, directly in loco. […]
Polyurethanes and polyureas are extremely versatile materials, now widely used to create decorative and scenic elements in general. Use ranges from the manufacture of artificial rocks that are entirely indistinguishable from the real thing, to decor creations. Large waterfalls found in gardens or huge trees positioned on terraces are often […]
In many cases, the features of polyurethanes can be effectively exploited to construct elements and articles that can effectively substitute other materials in other applications, even fibre glass. The bond between polyurethanes and polyureas that are different from each other – rigid, structurally polyurethane foam, elastomers, flexible foams and polyurethane […]
FAST CONSTRUCTION WITH SPRAY MATERIALS FUTURA offers an adequate range of polyurethane products suitable for the fast construction of moulds. We refer to moulds of rocks or of special architectural elements constructed by spraying the material directly on the original to be copied. By means of this technique, it is […]
Some elastomers, polyurethane or polyureas, can be very successfully used for lining containers. We refer, for example, to the protection of the soil against possible infiltrations due to leakage from industrial plants. A non-fabric fabric can be laid beneath seeping containers, which can then be sprayed with an elastomer with […]
One of the main problems concerning building in general, both civil and industrial building, today is waterproofing, of both roofs and foundations. It is not at all rare, entering a building, to notice signs due to the seepage of water and to the presence of humidity evidenced by the detachment […]
Polyurethane was invented by Otto Bayer in 1936. The product underwent considerable evolution. The first applications were in the field of fibres. This was followed by the successful experimentation of polyurethane foam, at first rigid and later also flexible. Elastomeric polyurethane, as the components developed, was used for the construction […]
FUTURA also has technology for the reproduction of bark and for the manufacture of artificial trees. FUTURA’s artificial barks are also so realistic as to convince even the most careful observer. They are made with flexible materials which give the sensation of real bark even to the touch. They can […]
FUTURA EUROPE’s technology allows for the faithful reproduction of rocks that are so realistic that absolutely anyone would take them for real. The system is ultra tried and tested. FUTURA artificial rocks are used in almost all theme parks, hotels, spa installations, wellbeing centres. The advantages: – the perfect reproduction […]
Polystyrene is rigid, but it is a weak material; it can easily be moulded into the required shapes but it is certainly fragile. Therefore, for uses which require resistance over time, it must be suitably coated with a material that offers sufficient guarantees for the specific application. FUTURA EUROPE offers […]
Rust is a phenomenon that regards industrial plant in general, especially in the field of rock salt mining, salt works in general, purification systems, and in the mining and processing of aggressive minerals. Rust also regards the means used for the transport of materials as well as fishing boats and […]
Special polyurea and polyurethane elastomers are formulated to resist abrasion. The coating with elastomeric polyurethanes allows for enormously extending the life of systems subject to wear, such as sieving machines, channels and hoppers in the mining field and all applications involving the movement of abrasive material. The advantage of the […]
The polyurethane foam has been found to be the most efficient material for thermal insulation. The conduction coefficient is indicated as “λ”. Thermal conduction is influenced by several factors. The most important are the density of the foam (the best values are found with a density between 30 and 40 […]
Polyurea manufacturers and users emphasise many properties of this product, so it is necessary to take a closer look. Indifference to humidity It is true that polyurethane systems are sensitive to humidity and water. A polyurethane can also react with atmospheric humidity. The result is a carbon dioxide gas which […]
HOW DID WE GET THIS FAR? In past years a great many types of Polyurea were placed on the market, elastomers and coatings, some of which were true polyureas, while others were improperly called such. The “Polyurea” system and its technology, in fact, has unique and important characteristics. However, the […]
