About Us
Polyurethane is a unique material that offers the elasticity of rubber combined with the toughness and durability of metal. It can be manufactured in a variety of hardness ranging from rubber band soft to bowling ball hard. Due to the versatility of polyurethane the range of components that can be manufactured are vast.
We can offer you a tailored solution from a one off special oil seal to a complete conveyor change out providing unique solutions to our industry partners.
Just about any OEM rubber component can be retro fitted with a Polyurethane equivalent providing better performance, longer life & chemical resistance often cheaper than the aftermarket alternative.
Parts made from polyurethane are proven to outwear other materials in particular when abrasion is a factor. It is vastly superior to rubber, plastics and metal in many applications. It has a higher load bearing capacity than any conventional rubber. This makes it an ideal material for load wheels fitted to fork trucks etc, heavy duty couplings, metal forming pads, shock absorbing pads, machine mounts etc. In fact it can be molded into virtually any form given the correct molds and tooling are used.
Should you have an abrasion issue regarding machine components resulting in expensive production down time, then replacing the part or parts manufactured in POLYURETHANE will in most cases solve the problem, thus reducing your operational costs.
Plastic/wood or metal components can also often be replaced with the durability and reliability of modern Polyurethane. (Examples below)
Our design flexibility, along with our state of the art products mean you can have your part in just about any colour imaginable, in your specified hardness.
