The article considers optimization of strength level of dispersed-filled polymer materials based on polyurethane BASF with addition of perlite powder and aluminum hydroxide of different dispersion degree. The Taguchi experiment was chosen as a method of investigation. The experiment plan includes 7 controlled factors and 2 interference factors. An optimal combination of factors is determined to provide a maximum signal-to-noise ratio and a minimum variation coefficient. Controlled factors are ranked by degree of influence on sensitivity of tensile strength to interference. The applicability of the Taguchi method to optimize the strength of dispersed-filled polymers has been confirmed.
