Polyurethane Elastomer & Polyurethane Foam

Polyurethane Plastic & Foam

As one of the most versatile foam materials ever created, polyurethane is used in hundreds of products to provide comfort, support, protection and safety. Polyurethanes are engineered elastomers that can be cast into sheets or rods as well as finished parts. It is also available in a foam variation, making polyurethane a great option both for solid as well as foam product applications.

Polyurethanes are extremely tough, resilient, and abrasion resistant in solid/sheet form. Polyurethane sheet is graded depending on hardness or durometer. They are available in a wide variety of durometers ranging from Shore 50A (extremely soft and rubbery) to Shore 75D (hard and stiff).

Characterized by its light weight, resiliency, low odor and high resistance to mildew, polyurethane foam is used extensively in common consumer goods such as seating, flooring, and bedding products. For packaging applications, this open-celled foam is typically used to protect lighter weight, delicate objects with high fragility and/or lower drop height maximums. It is also used regularly in medical packaging where abrasion resistance is required.

Reticulated polyurethane foam is a versatile, open-cell material that is light weight, low odor and highly resistant to mildew. It’s typically used to make products that are involved in filtration, sound absorption, fluid management, wiping and padding. This family of materials features high tensile, elongation and tear characteristics.

Benefits of Polyurethane Plastic & Foam

Polyurethane (PU or PUR) is a versatile engineering material with a combination of rubber’s elasticity and the toughness and durability of metal. This material offers superior impact resistance, excellent wear properties and elastic memory.

Polyurethane foam provides excellent cushioning at a very reasonable cost and can be easily molded or cut to fit your particular application. It is available in two primary types, polyether and polyester, in a range of densities and colors.
