# [Polyurethane composite for applications other than shower trays, such as skin panels or countertops](https://blog.synthesia.com/en/polyurethane-composite-for-applications-other-than-shower-skin-panels-countertops)

Polyurethane rigid polyurethane systems have evolved to go far beyond their initial role in shower trays. Today, they are already an integral solution for a variety of applications. Constant innovation in polyurethane composite promises to continue to expand their possibilities, offering durable and aesthetic solutions in a variety of industries.

## Properties of polyurethane composite

[Polyurethane composite](https://www.synthesia.com/en/pu-systems/industrial-systems/polyurethane-composite-systems/) have exceptional properties for a variety of applications. Their **resistance to impact and moisture**, combined with **high durability**, makes them a **versatile and reliable material**. With **high density, toughness and strength**, polyurethane composite allow for versatile and long-lasting solutions.

 

## Benefits and advantages of using polyurethane composite for shower trays

The water resistance and ease of maintenance of polyurethane composite make them very popular materials for the manufacture of aesthetic and practical shower trays, as well as for other [bathroom accessories](https://www.synthesia.com/en/applications/bathroom-accessories/). **In addition to their properties of hardness, strength and durability, they are also versatile and offer a wide range of finishes**, making them suitable for any decorative style.

It is a material that allows for unique designs, reflecting creativity without compromising functionality, with great firmness and structural strength, despite its extraordinary lightness. With soft textures, its touch enhances the feeling of comfort.

 

## Benefits and advantages of using polyurethane composite for skin panels

Another outstanding property of polyurethane composite, their versatility, is evident in the manufacture of skin panels. These panels, used in wall cladding and decorative surfaces, benefit from the **aesthetic and strength properties** of polyurethane composite.

 

## Benefits and advantages of using polyurethane composite for worktops

Polyurethane composite worktops offer a **durable, hard-wearing surface** that is also easy to maintain. The chemical resistance and non-porous surface make rigid worktops perfect for kitchens and spaces where hygiene is essential.

In addition, they allow for a wide variety of design and textures. The result is pieces of great quality, style and exceptional durability, which adapt to different preferences and needs and in which resistance to wear and tear does not compromise aesthetics.

 

## Procedure for its use

The procedure for using polyurethane composite varies according to the application. In the manufacture of shower trays, they are moulded to suit specific designs, ensuring the most accurate installation possible. In the creation of skin panels and worktops, they are cut and shaped according to the needs of the individual project.

 

## Other uses

Beyond the uses mentioned above, polyurethane composite are also used for a variety of applications in construction and industry. Their mechanical strength makes them ideal for structural elements, while their ability to withstand adverse conditions makes them a valuable option in industrial environments. **In the furniture and automotive sector** (for making seats, backrests, headrests, etc.) they are great allies, as well as for the manufacture of holds for sport climbing. 

At Synthesia we offer comprehensive solutions for the woodworking industry, from furniture manufacturing to decorative elements. Our [product range](https://www.synthesia.com/en/applications/furniture-wood-decoration/), which includes polyurethane systems, polyester polyols and specialties, has been carefully designed to meet the highest standards.

We have a wide variety of products adapted to different applications, ranging from **flexible industrial systems** to **semi-rigid (integral skin)** and **rigid (imitation wood) solutions**. Our rigid polyurethane industrial systems specialise in moulded parts, offering versatility and strength. In addition, our flexible foam polyols and specialties cover a broad spectrum of uses, from varnishes and stains to paints, enamels, sealants, coatings, furniture finishes and more.
