Products made from urthanes are stronger, tougher, and more durable than products made from conventional elastomers and plastics. Urethanes can be formulated in hardnesses ranging from 20 Shore A, which is softer than a gum eraser to over 70 Shore D – harder than a golf ball. Urethane is extremely tough. Urethane products often outwear other materials such as rubber, plastics and metals by margins of five to one to as high as fifty to one when severe abrasion is a factor. Polyurethane foam is widely used in high resiliency flexible foam seating, rigid foam insulation panels, microcellular foam seals and gaskets, durable elastomeric wheels and tires, automotive suspension bushings, electrical potting compounds, seals, gaskets, carpet underlay, and hard plastic parts (such as for electronic instruments). Formulated urethanes have higher load-bearing capacity than any conventional rubber, are highly resistant to impact, are ideal for high flex applications, and offer a wide resilience range.
