Polyurethane combines the best properties of both plastic and rubber. It offers abrasion and tear resistance, high tensile and elongation values, and low compression set. Polyurethane is naturally flexible and exhibits virtually unlimited flexural abilities.
UREBRADE is supplied in an ether formulation. making it resistant to attack from moisture and fungus. Where applications involve repeated flexing, heavy vibration, or abrasion, UREBRADE offers superior service life over other materials. It also resists attack from ultra-violet rays. making it acceptable for outside use. Ester-based UREBRADE is available through minimum order (call for details).
Combining good chemical resistance with excellent weathering characteristics sets polyurethane apart from most other thermoplastics. It has exceptional resistance to most gasolines, oils, kerosene, and other petroleum-based chemicals, making it an ideal choice for fuel lines (some additives in today's gasoline and petroleum products warrant field testing). |
