The Advantages and Applications of Polyurethane Rods

The Advantages and Applications of Polyurethane Rods

Polyurethane rods have several advantages due their long flexible polymer molecules, which make the material incredibly versatile.

Some of the Key commercial benefits of PU rods are:

Abrasion resistance

Outstanding low-temperature performance

High shear strength

High elasticity

High resistance to sunlight and weather conditions

Applications of Polyurethane rods

It is no surprise that these benefits make PU rods useful for a wide range of applications. Here are some of the different ways PU rods can be used in various industries:

Automotive Industry

Polyurethane rods are often fixed to the suspension or steering of a vehicle to minimise road bumps. When these suspension bushings wear, they allow more movement in the car, such as poor handling, loose steering, or clunking or rattling noises on loose roads.

With Polyurethane’s vibration absorption qualities it’s no surprise that polyurethane rods also make excellent shock absorbers and noise dampers. Due to their versatility and adaptable durometer (range of hardness), they can be used for anything from keeping out the noise of the road to bumper pad applications.

Leisure & Hospitality Industry

Polyurethane rods are often used as supports on Roller coasters, due their high impact resistance, especially if the frames are wooden. The strength of the PU rods reinforce the rollercoaster’s strength and allow them to withstand a higher impact range and force. PU rods are often used in the leisure industry for escalator wheels, due to their excellent resistance against wear and their load bearing qualities.

Agriculture

Unsurprisingly, PU rods can be used for wear strips on ploughs. The abrasion resistance, resistance against corrosion and wear, as well as their ability to withstand high impact loads, make them perfect for this purpose.
