History of Polyurethane Rod:
Polyurethane was pioneered by a Mr Otto Bayer and colleagues around 1937 in Germany. They quickly realised that there were advantages over existing plastics and were able to patent what is now known as Polyurethane.

World War II held back development and during the 1960's, manufacturing techniques improved and Polyurethane became more economical and began to replace existing lower performance materials. In the early part of the 21st century attention has been focused on the use of sustainable products to be used in the manufacture of Polyurethane, this is due to the unpredictable cost and supply of the petrochemical industry.
