Polyurethane Technical Information
Thermoset cast urethane products are well known for their extraordinary toughness and durability in most demanding applications. They usually outlast conventional rubbers and plastics by a factor of 20 to 1. When impingement abrasion is involved, they will usually outlast carbon steel. Cast from thermoset urethane resins, solid urethane products are produced to very close tolerances and typically require a minimum of machining to adapt to their end uses. Precision cast products are available in several standard size sheets, bars, rods, and tube stocks. All standard forms can be shipped off-the- shelf. Some typical applications for urethanes are wear pads, metal-forming pads, machinery mounts, cutting surfaces, sound dampening pads, gaskets, seals, rollers, roller covers and sandblast curtains.
