Polyurethan elastomers

Raw materials

Due to their wide range of applications, PU elastomers are relatively small (in terms of volume) but very important group of polyurethanes.

Thanks to their properties, they can be used not only as substitutes for rubber products. They permit production of components with exceptional technical properties, which can not be achieved with other types of elastomers.

With its ability to adjust product properties by appropriate raw material selection, thanks to proper technology and processes and use of dedicated equipment, ZPTS can offer a broad range of products with guaranteed repeatability, consistency and top quality.

Key features of polyurethane elastomers:
- high flexibility in the whole hardness range from 55ShA to 70ShD
- good reflexive deformation properties
- high abrasion resistance and good friction properties
- high tearing and cracking resistance
- good resistance to dynamic loading
- good impact-, vibration- and shock-dampening properties
- good to very good resistance to any weather conditions
- resistance to oils, fats and to a number of acids and solvents
- non-soiling co-acting parts.

Chemical properties of polyurethane elastomers:
- resistance to hydrolysis
- resistance to all atmospheric conditions
- resistance to water and salt mists
- resistant to sugar solutions

good resistance to many chemicals, such as, e.g.:
- saturated and aliphatic solvents
- 10% solutions of acids and alkalis
- motor fuel-oils
- oils and fats
- oxidising agents
- sea water

ZPTS manufactures elastomer components from various types of systems:
- TDI (POLYETHER and POLYESTER) featuring outstanding dynamic properties
- MDI (POLYETHER and POLYESTER) with outstanding strength properties
- QASI - MDI (POLYESTER and POLYETHER) with very flexible applicability
- NDI (VULKOLLAN - POLYESTER) featuring exceptional efficiency and durability
