Polyurethane Elastomer has a characteristics that can outperform a legacy material like wood, metal, rubber or even conventional plastics in many applications.
Highlight features:
Wide range of hardness.
It can harder than bone to softer than wristband.
Excellence in abrasion resistant.
Parts wearing problem can be solved.
High impact resistance.
Best for high impact or repeated impingement.
Wide resilience range.
It rebounds well.
Very flexible.
It will not crack in repeated-flex application. Still flexible in low temperature.
Electrical insulated.
It is an insulator naturally.
Water immersion immune.
Neglected volume and very small weight increase after prolonged immersion in normal to warm water. Water lubricated application is widely acknowledged.
Outdoor and tropical preference.
It immune to ozone, oxygen, radiation, humidity, or even mold, mildew and fungus growth.
All-in-one chemical and flame resistance.
While other substances may resist certain solvent well. Polyurethane only can resist number of chemicals, oil, grease. It as well can be made to resist flame.
Sound deadening.
Good for noise reduction and anti-vibration application.
High bond to materials.
High bond strength on wood, metal and plastics. Times stronger bond than rubber to similar substrate. Imply to high safety, performance and last of application over rubber.
Low mold and tooling cost.
Lower cost comparing with an expensive injection mold technique of other plastics type. Ideal economically production a medium to large size part in limited quantity or making a custom parts.
