Polyurethane Rods – 50° Shore A
Polyurethane rods are versatile materials that are well-suited for machining custom components in low-volume applications, such as bumpers, stops, and bushings. Their flexible nature allows them to be easily machined or ground.
We offer a wide variety of polyurethane rod formulations, including high rebound urethane with low strain set properties, high-temperature formulations, and abrasion-resistant formulations. We provide a variety of tooling options for most orders, with minimal or no configuration fees.
Our extensive range of hardness and color options enables us to meet a vast spectrum of end-use requirements. We provide the largest selection of polyurethane rods available at 50° Shore A hardness.
Polyurethane rods are thermoset elastomers with hardness and longevity that far exceed most rubber and plastics. One of their most significant features is their wide range of hardness, extending from eraser-soft to golf-ball-like hardness, controlled by the prepolymer’s chemical composition, not by the addition of fillers or plasticizers.
Polyurethane rods offer exceptional abrasion resistance, low-temperature stability, and high load-bearing capacity. They can also be molded and cast hydrolytically solid.
Polyurethane rods are easy to process, even for the hardest grades. They exhibit excellent resistance to fats, toxins, radiation, and weathering. Additionally, they have an extremely high flex life and resistance to cutting.
As thermoset materials, polyurethane rods cannot be reformed or reheated, but they can be machined. Components manufactured from these bases outperform products made from rubber and other traditional materials.
Polyurethane 50 Shore A is an extremely versatile elastomer used in countless applications worldwide.
Polyurethane’s mechanical properties can be isolated and manipulated through creative chemistry which creates a number of unique opportunities to solve problems with performance characteristics unequaled in any other material. It is our understanding of how to seize these opportunities which allows us to provide flexible solutions through polymeric Innovation.
