HOW ARE SQUISHES MADE?

HOW ARE SQUISHES MADE?

Well there are two ingredients that you need to make a squishy. These are made out of PU which stands for polyurethane. PU comes in 2 varieties Gummy Cast Soft and Gummy Cast Hard. They are both made from urethane resin.   

 

  Polyurethane was first researched in Germany by Friedrich  Bayer in 1937.

FACTS ABOUT POLYURETHANE:

  •  1.6cm-thick polyurethane insulation has the same insulation efficiency as a 1.34m-thick concrete wall!

  •  the first polyurethane surfboard was made and used in the 1950s.

  •  in 1973, roller skates were improved and popularised by the introduction of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) wheels and, later, TPU boots. Today they are known as Rollerblade's.
