ABOUT US
Western Polymers Ltd. was founded in 1987 as a manufacturer of high quality polyurethane elastomeric products. In 1994 the company branched into the compression moulding of rubber compounds. Western Polymers is capable of offering a wide variety of moulded materials for all types of service requirements.
Western has developed its own line of proprietary nished products including Tuff -Kote rod couplers for the petroleum industry, Polyglide® Fifth Wheel Plates for the transportation business, and Ice Edge snow removal products.
Western Polymers Ltd. helps transform raw ideas into finished products using advanced elastomers that provide exceptional performance in the most demanding applications.
Polyurethane Moulding
Western Polymers’ polyurethane elastomers are uniquely engineered materials o ering the resilience and elasticity of rubber compounds combined with the abrasion resistance and load bearing properties of high quality plastics.
Soft elastomers are ideally suited to products such as semi- exible printing rolls and vibration isolators. Medium durometer elastomers are better suited to high impact applications like mallet heads. The hardest formulations are typically used to manufacture products that require low frictional coe cients and high abrasion resistance, such as bearings and bushings.
Western Polymers is equipped to handle projects of all sizes ranging from limited small quantity batches to mass production runs using leading edge production casting equipment.
Compression Rubber Moulding
Since 1994 Western Polymers has been professionally moulding rubber elastomer products with consistent dimensional tolerances at economical prices. Compression moulding of rubber elastomers allows for customization of one-off pieces, as well as mass market production of rubber products.
Compression moulding of rubber offers a variety of material options. These include natural rubber, neoprene, nitrile, silicone, uroelastomer, and hydrogenated nitriles in many different durometers. Each material has unique mechanical and chemical properties allowing for varying resistance to chemicals and temperatures.
Machining
In addition to our custom urethane and compression rubber moulding business, we also have a multi-faceted machining and fabrication shop with our customer’s best interests in mind. Western Polymers offers complex metal tooling and small to medium production run machining that is shaped by a blend of skill, attention to detail, and personal care. Our customers have the assurance that their product requirements are completed professionally, on time, and on budget.
Our machine shop specializes in the design and machining of precision metal moulds for the manufacture of cast urethane and compression rubber moulded products. Our tooling ensures that production runs will provide dimensionally consistent high quality finished goods.
