Polyurethane (PU) specifiactions

Polyurethane (PU) rubber has excellent wear resistance at moderate temperatures. This quality is used where high wear resistance, high hardness, or good elasticity is required. PU is resistant to oil, certain solvents, fats, ozone, and is UV and weather resistant. However, this quality is poorly resistant to hot water, acids, and bases. Temperature range: -30°C to +80°C.

Properties of Polyurethane (PU)

  • Excellent wear resistance, durable and shock-resistant
  • Exceptionally resilient
  • High tensile strength
  • Excellent tear-resistant properties
  • High damping capacity
  • Low compression set
  • Ozone and UV resistant
  • Retains elastic and mechanical properties during use
  • Maximum temperature for oil is 60°C and for hot water is 30°C

Resistance of Polyurethane (PU)

  • UV resistance: good
  • Weather resistance: good
  • Ozone resistance: good
  • Resistance to mineral oils, gasoline, and lubricants: good
  • Resistance to diluted acids and alkalis: good
  • Tear strength: good

Applications of Polyurethane (PU)

  • Scraper Blades: PU's high wear resistance and durability make it ideal for scraper blades, ensuring long-lasting performance in cleaning and material handling tasks.
  • Seals and Gaskets: The hardness and wear resistance of PU provide effective sealing, preventing leaks and maintaining integrity under high-pressure conditions.
  • Wear Strips and Pads: PU's abrasion resistance protects machinery parts from wear and tear, extending the life of equipment.
  • Rollers and Wheels: The durability and load-bearing capacity of PU make it perfect for heavy-duty rollers and wheels, ensuring smooth operation and longevity.
  • Construction Components: PU's strength and wear resistance make it suitable for construction components like spacers and shims, providing stability and durability.
  • Machine Tooling: The toughness and precision of PU allow for the production of durable machine tooling parts that withstand high-stress environments.
  • Guide Rails: PU's low friction and wear resistance make it ideal for guide rails, reducing wear and ensuring efficient operation of conveyor systems and machinery.
  • Impact Protection: The hardness and impact resistance of PU provide effective protection in areas requiring high durability, safeguarding equipment and structures.
  • Industrial Blades: PU's durability and hardness make it suitable for industrial blades, ensuring they remain sharp and effective for cutting and scraping tasks.
