Polyurethane Sheet is often used as a replacement for rubber components and provides an obvious upgrade over the traditional material. Polyurethane Sheet has a much improved resistance to wear and can out last other materials by as much as four times.
AbrasionResistant Polyurethane. Rubber Sheets, Bars, and Strips. This polyurethane combines the shock absorbing qualities of rubber with the tear resistance of plastic. Use it for hightension applications such as conveyor belts, as well as for highwear applications such
It can be made into various forms such as sheets, rods, bars, and tubes. Industrial rubber can come in many lengths, widths, and thicknesses. It can have various durometer hardness scale values varying from extra soft to extra hard. Industrial rubber can have a smooth or precision ground finish, and be either solid or not solid, and can have backing.
Polyurethane is a unique material that offers the elasticity of rubber combined with the toughness and durability of metal. Because urethane is available in a very broad hardness range (erasersoft to bowlingballhard), it allows the engineer to replace rubber, plastic and metal with the ultimate in abrasion resistance and physical properties.
Polyurethane to us is like a hard rubber but actually it can be made as soft as an eraser and as hard as a bowling ball and anything inbetween. Its measured using a piece of equipment called a durometer. From our point of view there are 2 scales A scale (by far the most popular)
