The versatility of open-cast urethane and polyurethane molding produces a wide variety of products for most industries. Applications requiring high abrasion resistance, outstanding tensile and tear strength, noise dampening, chemical resistance, and/or excellent load bearing capability, find that urethane surpasses most other polymers.
Expensive metal casting often times can be replaced by lightweight urethane and still maintain or exceed wear characteristics found in their metal counterparts. Polyurethanes can be selected and formulated to maximize particular need specifications such as maximizing abrasion or increasing tensile strength to obtain the strongest, most break resistant part possible. The ingredients found in some urethanes are FDA approved for contact with foodstuffs and find applications in food services and production as well as the medical industry.
