General advantages of polyurethane materials:
Wide range of hardness (Shore A15 to Shore D90)
Higher load carrying capacity than other elastomers under the same hardness
High abrasion and impact resistance
Wide range of resilience
Suitable for high-frequency flexing applications
Good low-temperature flexibility
Special formulation, stable at 140°C
Moisture vapor transmission - suitable for microporous materials
Unaffected by ozone depletion
Resistant to radiation
Flame-retardant materials possible
Mold-resistant
High and low abrasion
Possible to be processed on standard equipment
Bonds to wood, metal and most plasticsMakes noise-reducing materials
Low molding and processing costs
Wide range of resistance to oils, greases, and chemicals
Total cost of ownership is very economical (labor and material)
