Polyurethane Stock Shapes
Polyurethane, or Urethane, is a unique material that offers the elasticity of rubber combined with the toughness and durability of metal. Because urethane is available in a very broad hardness range (flexible-soft to rigid-hard), it can be a good replacement for rubber, plastic, and metal. Polyurethane shapes are one of the toughest options for polymers to date. In general polyurethane shapes have significantly longer life spans than materials such as rubber. PU sheet (polyurethane) is ideal for any industrial application where there is a tendency for high wear, impingement, sliding abrasion, impact, and chemical contact. It is commonly chosen for high-wear applications including vibration-dampening, die-cutting materials, bumpers, and much more.
Parts machined from polyurethane plastics can reduce plant maintenance and OEM product costs. Many applications using this ultra-tough material have reduced their down-time, maintenance time, and cost of parts.
