About Cast Polyurethane
Cast polyurethane is a versatile and high-performance elastomer known for its exceptional durability and adaptability. It is created by mixing two liquid components, which are then poured into a mold and cured to form a solid material. This process allows for the production of parts with a wide range of hardness, from soft and rubber-like to hard and rigid, making it suitable for various applications. Cast polyurethane combines the resilience and flexibility of rubber with the toughness and wear resistance of plastics and metals. It is commonly used in industries such as automotive, mining, and manufacturing, where components are subjected to harsh conditions and require long service life. Cast polyurethane offers excellent resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, making it an ideal choice for demanding environments. Its ability to be custom molded into complex shapes and sizes further enhances its utility in specialized applications.
