POLYURETHANE
Chemical Name: Polyurethane-elastomer
Common/Trade Names: Austane®, Urethane®, Lurathane®
Abbreviation: PUR
Properties (Colour): Typical colours range from black, red, greens, yellows and blues to name a few. Colours will determine a hardness grade with most manufacturers.
Machining: Can be difficult to machine. Hardnesses above 80 Duro are more readily machined; below this hardness parts are usually cast to shape or rough machined. Closer tolerances are achieved by grinding.
Types: Polyester base. Urethanes mostly for dynamic applications. Polyether base Urethanes for moist environments. Hardness range from 40 Duro’A’ to 75 Duro ‘D’. Cellular foam.
Chemical Resistance: Resists water, oils, chemicals and solvents.
