Polyurethane elastomers are rubber-elastic chemical materials with exceptional physical and mechanical properties. Polyurethane has established itself as a versatile, technical construction material and, as a result, covers a very wide range of applications.
Main properties:
High wear resistance
High load-bearing capacity, even under dynamic loading
Wide hardness range (10° ShA to 85° ShD)
High elasticity in the entire hardness range
Flexibility over a wide temperature range (-35°C to +90°C)
Good resistance to many oils, greases and solvents
Good resistance to ozone, UV and high-energy radiation
A distinction is made between the following main groups:
Polyester-polyurethanes
Polyether-polyurethanes
Mixed systems
Mixed systems have a property profile that lies between those of polyester systems and polyether systems.
Options with FDA-approved components are also available.
