Material Options
At Nuraseal, our polyurethanes offer high tensile strength, excellent abrasion resistance, unlimited shelf life, excellent hydrolytic stability, pressures up to 5000 psi and service temperatures up to 200°F. We utilize two main categories of elastomeric materials: liquid-cast thermoset ployurethane and injection-moulded thermoplastic polyurethane.
Thermoset Polyurethane
- Exhibits excellent wear resistance, toughness, tensile strength and cut resistance.
- Good fluid compatibility over a broad temperature range.
- Highly resistant to ozone and radiation.
- Available in hardness ranging from 60 ShoreA (rubber) to 85 ShoreD (hard plastic).
- Shelf life is virtually unlimited.
- Custom colours are easy to compound with minimal set-up or lead time.
- Can be compounded with various additives including PTFE, UHMW polyethylene and molybdenum disulphide.
- Parts can be manufactured for inexpensive tooling with minimal set-up costs.
- Prototyping and lower volume production runs are fast and economical.
Thermoplastic Polyurethane
- Exhibits good wear resistance, toughness, tensile strength and fluid compatibility.
- Compounds available for applications ranging up to 130°C.
- Available in hardness ranging from 80A to 70D.
- Available in a variety of colours.
- Production methods allow for large quantities to be manufactured economically.
