OverviewPolyurethane sheets, slabs, plates and rods are universal semi-finished products used to manufacture wear-resistant components operating under high loads, abrasive wear and aggressive environments. They provide predictable mechanical performance and are suitable for demanding industrial applications.
Applications- Mining industry
- Metallurgical industry
- Chemical industry
- Agro-industrial sector
- Food industry
Advantages compared to traditional materials- Higher wear resistance than rubber, many plastics and some metals
- Good elasticity and recovery after deformation
- High tear and tensile strength
- Chemical resistance to a range of reagents
- Stability under sharp temperature fluctuations and weather exposure
Manufacturing and processingSheets, slabs, plates and rods are produced in various thicknesses, hardness grades and dimensions. Mechanical processing options include cutting and milling; parts can be manufactured from customer drawings or sketches and machined to complex geometries.
