Polyurethane advantages

Hard-wearing, practical, versatile, insulating, polyurethane can be coated and perfectly integrated with all other materials, and is a material that offers considerable technical and aesthetical benefits.

The excellent smoothness and uniformity of polyurethane also make it eminently suitable for making large-sized objects and those of varying thickness at a very reasonable cost. By using aluminium alloy moulds it is possible to achieve considerable savings on initial investments thus making rigid polyurethane technology more competitive for medium-sized runs than other injection moulding methods.

Characteristics:

it offers excellent resistance to mechanical stresses
it has a good surface hardness
when coated with halogen-free fire-retardant products, it is highly flame-proof
it is also resistant to adverse weather conditions
even where ribbed and reinforced pieces are concerned, there are never any shrinkage cavities and warping
it guarantees chemical inertia upon contact with very many organic and inorganic substances (including the most common acids)
it has excellent electrical and heat insulating characteristics
it offers a surface that can be fully coated with all kinds of coverings, including conductive paints
it permits inserts in metal or other materials to be sunk into articles during moulding
it can be disposed of as non-hazardous inert waste
