Manufacturing & IndustrialIndustry
Polyurethane is suited for many different processes within the manufacturing sector such as material handling, automotive manufacturing, cold steel & metal production, glass processes, composites, haul-off rollers and wheels & tyres. The list is endless and ever developing.
In many instances, 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 in aggressive environments and is cheaper to manufacture as there is no requirement for expensive processes like welding or machining.
