Cast polyurethane is an extremely versatile elastomer used in thousands of applications worldwide in a multitude of sectors. Cast urethane products deliver many advantages over other elastomers, plastics and in some cases even steel. Due to the various grades and chemical composites available cast urethane products can feel soft and pliable like silicone, or rock hard, like tug boat bumper pads
Properties
Typical cast urethane properties including
- Mechanical strength
- Chemical and alkaline resistance
- Tough, durable and resistant to cracking and tearing
- Versatile colours and formulations to suit client specific applications
Industry Specific
Cast polyurethane products are the preferred materials in the following industries
Applications
Cast polyurethane can be used as an alternative to 3D printed parts in a low volume or prototyping application
Many 3D printed parts lack mechanical strength, due to the layered bead construction deposit and limited building materials available. Cast polyurethane impression moulding can sometimes provide a moulded part that has all the characteristics of polyurethane in a simple, relatively low cost, gravity mould.
