POLYURETHANE- A STRONG RESILIENT VERSATILE POLYMER
Polyurethane components possess many inherent strengths. The outstanding engineering properties of this compound makes it ideal for demanding mechanical, chemical, thermal and electrical applications.
The high coefficient of friction of polyurethane makes it eminently suitable for frictional drives. It's sturdy electrical and thermal properties, resistance to chemical media and broad temperature tolerance- all enhance its range of applications.
Polyurethane has additional advantages to recommend it: high load bearing; excellent abrasion resistance; deep impact and tensile strength; tough against wear and tear; versatility in engineering applications. It can be formulated to exhibit low or high resilience with a wide variety of hardness.
Polyurethane combines the advantages of rigid plastics, metals, and ceramics with the flexibility of rubber. In many instances, polyurethane has actually replaced metal, rubber, wood and plastic, given their exceptional performance and cost benefits.
We cast all of our standard and custom formulas as well in and entire range of durometeres, 10 shore A to 80 Shore D.

Properties of Polyurethane
- Very wide range of hardness and modulus to choose from.
- Extremely durable and tough when compared to other engineering materials.
- Excellent impact, abrasion, cut, and tear resistance.
- Typically out performs mild steel up to 10x in abrasive applications.
- Typically out performs rubber compounds up to 4x in abrasive applications.
- Excellent resilience with exceptional elastomeric memory and will not chunk out like rubber.
- Have very high load bearing capabilities and great materials for dampening sound and vibrations.
- Excellent chemical resistance to solvents, petroleum products and other materials.
- Wide working temperature range (–30°c to 100°c depending on formulation.)
- Good to excellent UV and hydrolytic stability depending on formulations.
- Great electrical insulating properties and excellent dynamic properties for severe flex fatigue applications.
- Stretches up to 650% of its original length prior to failure and non-marking on nearly any surface.
- Permanently bonds to metal, wood, cloth and other structural elements and substrates.
- Nearly any shape or configuration imaginable is possible to manufacture and a wide array of colors is available.
- Dual durometer parts are easily made to gain different properties within one part.
- Relatively low tension and compression set properties.
- Lower tooling costs than other molding processes.
- Economical for prototypes and low-volume production.
