At Pascoe Industries, we supply and manufacture a broad range of polyurethane systems for mining, industrial, refrigeration, marine, construction and general manufacturing applications.
Polyurethane is an extremely versatile material that can be formulated to provide a wide range of hardnesses, densities and performance characteristics. Depending on the system selected, polyurethane can offer the flexibility of rubber, the durability of engineering plastics, excellent abrasion resistance or highly effective thermal insulation.
Our capabilities include polyurethane elastomers, rigid foams, flexible foams, integral skin foams, custom moulding, cavity filling and insulation applications.
Polyurethane Elastomers:
Polyurethane Elastomers combine the flexibility and resilience of rubber with excellent toughness, tear resistance and load-bearing performance.
They can be manufactured across a broad hardness range and moulded into complex shapes, making them suitable for both one-off components and repeat production runs.
Polyurethane elastomers are commonly used in applications where components are exposed to abrasion, impact, repeated movement or demanding operating conditions.
Typical applications include:
- Mining screens and wear components
- Dust and scrubber seals
- Rollers, wheels and bushes
- Cables and cable supports
- Moulded supports and protective components
- Concrete plugs
- Liners and wear-resistant parts
- Custom replacement components
Pascoe Industries can manufacture custom polyurethane parts using customer-supplied moulds, drawings, samples or application requirements.
Rigid Polyurethane Foams:
Rigid Polyurethane Foams are two-component systems designed to produce lightweight, closed-cell foam with excellent thermal insulation and structural properties.
Our rigid foam systems are available across a wide range of free-rise densities, from approximately 9 kg/m³ through to 400 kg/m³, allowing the material to be selected according to the required strength, insulation value and end-use application.
Common applications include:
- Thermal insulation
- Refrigeration and cold-storage equipment
- Water heaters
- Cold display cabinets
- Marine buoyancy and flotation
- Structural support
- Void and cavity filling
- Custom insulation projects
Rigid polyurethane foam can be processed using high- or low-pressure dispensing equipment or hand mixed for pour-in-place applications.
Flexible Polyurethane Foams:
Flexible Polyurethane Foams are lightweight, resilient materials commonly used where cushioning, comfort, sound insulation or controlled compression is required.
These two-component systems can be cast into a variety of moulds and manufactured in different densities and hardnesses to suit the required application.
Typical features include:
- Good cell structure
- Reliable flow and mould reproduction
- Good compression performance
- Sound-insulating properties
- A wide range of achievable densities and hardnesses
Flexible foams are commonly used in automotive, furniture, industrial cushioning and custom moulded applications.
Integral Skin Foams:
Integral Skin Polyurethane Foams develop a durable outer surface while retaining a softer cellular core.
This combination provides cushioning, impact resistance and a finished outer skin in a single moulded component. Integral skin systems can be cast into custom moulds and produced in a variety of shapes, hardnesses and densities.
Applications may include:
- Armrests and seating components
- Handles and grips
- Impact-absorbing parts
- Protective covers
- Industrial moulded components
- Custom ergonomic products
Custom Moulding and Filling:
Pascoe Industries can offer custom polyurethane moulding, cavity filling and insulation services for small to medium production runs.
Our team can assist with:
- Material and system selection
- Custom moulded components
- Customer-supplied mould filling
- Pattern and mould development
- Prototype and replacement parts
- Repeat production
- Cavity and void filling
We work closely with customers to understand the required hardness, density, shape, operating environment and performance requirements before recommending a suitable polyurethane system.
