Why use Polyurethane?

Polyurethane elastomers are a very unique material that offers the elasticity of rubber combined with the toughness and durability of metals. Elastomers can be manufactured in a variety of hardness’ from soft like rubber to hard like a bowling ball or any hardness in-between.

Due to the versatility of polyurethane elastomers, the range of components that can be manufactured with these systems are vast. Parts made from polyurethane elastomers have been proven to outwear a number of other materials. It is largely superior to materials like rubber, plastics and even metals in some applications.

Polyurethane Elastomers are Abrasion Resistant, Dry Heat Resistant, Oxygen & Ozone Resistant, Water Resistant, Oil Grease & Chemical Resistant, Radiation Resistant, Flame Resistant, Mould, Mildew, Fungus Resistant.

Elastomers are used throughout a wide range of Industries including the Concrete Industry, Building, Prototyping and Mining Industries to name a few.
