TransportationIndustry
When it comes to the transportation industry polyurethane can be used in many ways. We supply rollers, guide & buffer pads, linings, formers, paddles, wear protection mats and wheels & tyres. The list is extensive and continuing to grow for this demanding market sector.
As with many other industries, polyurethane is replacing traditional rubbers, plastics and even steel. When compared with steel, this super material can absorb vibration which reduces noise, is lighter weight, abrasion and wear resistant, and cheaper to manufacture as there is no requirement for expensive processes like welding or machining.
