Polyurethane is a unique material that offers the elasticity of rubber combined with the toughness and durability of metal. It can be manufactured in a variety of hardness’ from rubber soft to bowling ball hard or anywhere in between.
Due to the versatility of polyurethane, the range of components that can be manufactured are vast. Parts made from polyurethane are proven to outwear other materials. It is hugely superior to rubber, plastics and metal in many applications.
Polyurethane is Abrasion Resistant, Dry Heat Resistant, Oxygen & Ozone Resistant, Water Resistant, Oil Grease & Chemical Resistant, Radiation Resistant, Flame Resistant, Mould, Mildew, Fungus Resistant.
