Polyurethane rubber is a versatile material that provides the elasticity of rubber with the strength of metal and ceramic. Polyurethanes performance is superior to that plastic, rubber and metal because its capability to resist abrasion, heat, oil, solvents and a variety of chemicals. These properties make it a material of choice for engineers designing products for high load and stress applications. Permeability is good and similar to that of butyl rubber.

Rubber and polyurethaneproperties

There are two main chemical compounds of molded polyurethane; polyester (AU), and polyether (EU). The physical characteristics of these polymers are such that they exhibit excellent tensile strength, abrasion and tear resistance.
