Polyurethane, the material we work with at Prothane. It 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 range (sponge soft to iron hard), it allows the engineer to replace rubber, plastic and metal with the ultimate in abrasion resistance and physical properties.

Castable polyurethane are finding new applications in many industries because urethane parts provide longer service life when compared to plastics and rubber and lower noise abatement properties when compared to metals.

Some of the outstanding physical properties:

Excellent abrasion resistance

Excellent tear strength

Excellent machining properties

Good Electrical properties

Heat and cold resistant

High load-bearing capacity

Longer wear life

Oil and Solvent resistant

Self-Lubricating Properties

Wide range of coefficient of friction

With polyurethane components custom moulded to your specifications, you can reduce your maintenance time and costs while increasing the service life of your equipment. Parts cast in polyurethane provide added benefits of lower noise levels, reduced wear, self lubrication plus abrasion and corrosion resistance.
