PU Rods

Polyurethane (PU) rods are cylindrical solid bars made from polyurethane, a durable and versatile thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer. Known for their exceptional abrasion resistance, elasticity, and toughness, PU rods are commonly used in industrial, mechanical, and engineering applications that require flexibility, durability, and high load-bearing capacity.

High Abrasion Resistance: Excellent wear resistance, making them ideal for applications involving friction and heavy contact

Elasticity and Flexibility: Combines strength with flexibility, allowing them to absorb shocks, vibrations, and impacts

Wide Hardness Range: Available in various hardness levels (Shore A to Shore D), from soft and rubber-like to rigid and tough

Chemical Resistance: Withstands oils, greases, solvents, and many industrial chemicals

Load-Bearing Capacity: Can handle heavy loads without significant deformation or wear

Temperature Resistance: Operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 80°C, with some grades tolerating even higher

Water and Weather Resistance: Impervious to water, resistant to moisture, and suitable for outdoor use with UV-stabilized options

Vibration Dampening: Reduces noise and vibration in machinery and moving parts

Recyclability: Eco-friendly material that can often be recycled after use

Industrial Equipment: Bearings, bushings, gaskets, and seals in heavy machinery

Automotive Industry: Engine mounts, suspension components, and anti-vibration pads

Conveyor Systems: Rollers, guides, and spacers for material handling equipment

Mining and Quarrying: Used for scrapers, rollers, and wear-resistant components

Marine Applications: Boat rollers, dock bumpers, and underwater parts due to excellent water resistance

Construction: Used in formwork liners, spacers, and protective covers

Agriculture: Rollers, spacers, and wear parts in farming equipment

Tooling and Molding: As molds or custom components in manufacturing processes

Food and Beverage: FDA-approved PU rods are used for seals and parts in food-safe machinery

Durability: Long-lasting performance under heavy use and harsh conditions

Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries

Cost-Effective: Provides long-term value by reducing downtime and replacement costs

Ease of Fabrication: Can be easily machined, drilled, or cut into custom components

Impact Resistance: Absorbs impacts without cracking or permanent deformation

Eco-Friendly: Recyclable material with some grades made from sustainable components

Size: Available in a wide range of diameters and lengths to suit various applications

Hardness Levels: Customizable hardness (from Shore A to Shore D) for specific flexibility or rigidity requirements

Colors: Standard colors include red, yellow, and natural; custom colors are available

UV Stabilizers: For prolonged outdoor exposure

Anti-Static Agents: For static-sensitive environments

Flame Retardants: For fire-risk applications

Cutting: Easily cut to size using saws or knives

Drilling and Milling: Can be machined with standard tools for custom shapes

Joining: Heat welding or mechanical fastening is typically used for assembly

Shaping: PU rods can be turned, milled, or molded into complex components
