What Is Impingement Mixing and Why Is It Used in PU Foaming?

Struggling with inconsistent foam quality and high material costs? The problem might be your mixing method. Impingement mixing is the solution for professional, high-quality results. Impingement mixing is a technique where two polyurethane components, polyol and isocyanate, are forced at high pressure to collide. This high-energy impact ensures an instant and perfectly uniform mix, which […]
