Cast Urethane Technical Information
PROTOTYPES AND R&D
Our highly Skilled and Experienced product specialists and engineers can help you in designing components for your specific use. We manufacture cast polyurethane products from sample parts, dimensional drawings or just give us a call to discuss your application. PSI Urethanes can custom blend urethane elastomer formulations to achieve your exact specifications. We can produce prototypes for testing purposes that are affordable. Our flexible production system maximizes efficiency while allowing cost savings for both low and high volume production. Our in house machine shop can produce molds or metal inserts to meet your exact specifications.
Polyester & Polyether
The two main types of Polyurethanes are Polyester and Polyether. Each offers its own performance properties. Below are typical properties for both types Polyurethane.
| Ester | Ether |
| Solvent Resistant | Superior rebound properties |
| Oil resistance | Low temperature flexibility |
| Resistance to acids/bases | Excellent hydrolytic stability |
| Abrasion resistance | Food Grade Applications |
| Excellent mechanical properties | Excellent mechanical properties |
| Resistance to heat aging | Resistance to dynamic heat |
| Vibration Dampening build up (hysteresis) | |
| Higher split tear strength | |
| Food grade applications | |
