I am doing research and development formulating a custom polyurethane resin blend to use for fins, for a potential future small business endeavor.
I’ve done a lot of reasearch on a specific tri-functional polyurethane resin that goes by the trade name DESMODUR N 3300A (CAS: 152287-11-1), manufactured by Bayer, and I’m trying to get a sample from them to test it.
The problem I’m having is Bayer will not ship their free samples direct to residential addresses for liability reasons, and no one sells it retail, sales are only through their distributors, and none of the distributors will send a sample or sell to me because of my residential address. They have all asked me to provide them with a commercial address to ship to.
So I’m trying to find someone that deals with coatings or surfboard manufacturing in general, who has a commercial address, and is willing to help me order a sample of this resin for testing. I’ve asked a handful of local businesses and about a dozen or so non local businesses if they would be willing to help out, but no luck yet.
If you would like to help me out, or if you can point me in the right direction of someone else who could help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
