advantages of polyurethane
Typically, castable polyurethanes are used for their high performance properties such as; abrasion resistance, tear resistance and load bearing capabilities. These extraordinary properties provide a cost effective alternative for many industrial applications by lessening the down time in process operations. Tooling costs are also a major factor.
why use polyurethane
- Have superior cut and abrasion resistance
- Ability to self heal
- Can be formulated to posses specific properties (ie co-efficient, resiliency & compression set can be formulated high or low)
- Excellent resistance to ozone and aging
- Can be molded and bonded to a variety or substrates
- Resistance to many oils and solvents
- Lightweight
- Outstanding low temperature properties.
- Performance
- Toughness
- Tear Resistance
- Load-Bearing ability
- Cost Effectiveness
- Lessen down time in process operation
- Lower tooling and equipment costs for small production runs
