Polyurethane is a unique material that offers the elasticity of rubber combined with the toughness and durability of metal. Polyurethane is up to five times stronger than rubber. Because urethane is available in a very broad hardness range, it allows the engineer to replace rubber,plastic, and metal with the ultimate in abrasion resistance and physical properties. Polyurethane can reduce plant maintenance and OEM product cost. Many applications using this ultra-tough material have cut down-time, maintenance time, and cost of parts to a fraction of the previous figures.

Self-sealing

When severe abrasion is a factor, urethane has been known to outwear other materials by a factor of five-to-one to ten-to-one.

When it comes to chemicals and ozone, urethane surpasses rubber. Urethane will maintain excellent resistance to mineral-based oils, hydrocarbons, fats, greases, petroleum products, and specific solvents.
