Polyurethane Rod
Polyurethane is recognised as an effective flexible application in industry.
It is the preferred alternative to metal, rubber or plastic.
Polyurethane has superior properties in these areas.
Abrasion and impact resistance
Has superior abrasion and impact resistance to rubber and plastic.
It is lightweight compared to metal or aluminium.
Resilience
Is significant; polyurethane will rebound back to its original shape far beyond that of metals or plastics.
Resistance
Polyurethane is resistant to petrochemical solvents, oil and ozone
Stable at low temperatures.
Noise reduction
It reduces noise migration in mechanical operations.
Load bearing
Polyurethane is a higher density material. Rubbers, plastics/nylon polyethylene etcetora are low density materials.
Its superior load bearing is dew to the compression modulus of the material.
Rubber has a low compression modulus.
