The wide variety of urethane compounds available allows fabricators of rollers and molded parts to meet the demands of engineers in many industries.
Polyurethane is a versatile material, designed to provide properties not available in conventional rubbers, metals and plastics.
Polyurethane an be cast as a soft or hard solid part, or molded to a metal substrate.
Polyurethane formulations are capable of fulfilling the exacting requirements of the material engineer for a functional high performance rubbery part.
Urethanes can be formulated to create products as soft as an eraser, to over 70D, a nylon type hardness.
Polyurethane covers a wide range of hardness, from soft rubbers to rigid plastics. They have greater abrasion and tear resistance than neoprene
or natural rubber, coupled with greater load bearing capacity.
Like conventional plastics and rubbers, polyurethane resists cracking under repeated
flexing. However, since cracking is normally
reduced by making parts thinner, polyurethane
offers an important advantage in that they can be used in very thin sections because of their strength and toughness.
