OUR CAPABILITIES Ten years after Ephrata Precision began as a jobbing machine shop in 1972, the company was primed for an expansion. In a calculated move, Ephrata stirred the pot and opened a polyurethane department. The new department fit like a glove, naturally meshing with the products and customers of the established machine shop. From configurative parts, wheels, pads, or seals in conventional or food grade formulations, Ephrata Precision provides cast thermoset polyurethane elastomers in a myriad of forms for the manufacturing sector. Working in conjunction with our machine shop, Ephrata designs and manufactures simple and complex tooling in house for our customers. As a custom molder and job shop, Ephrata manufactures all parts to meet our customer’s specifications.

Dr. Otto Bayer is credited with the invention of polyurethane back in the 1930s; however, castable polyurethane elastomers did not emerge until after WWII. Filling voids left by other materials like rubber and nylon, polyurethane quickly became a backbone of manufacturing. Today, numerous formulations of polyurethane are available to meet the varied demands of industry. (Clemitson, I.R. Castable Polyurethane Elastomers. CRC Press, 2008) Whereas most people are familiar with polyurethane foams, coatings, and sealants, cast polyurethane thermoset elastomers do not fit this mold. Cast polyurethane is an organic polymer known for its elastomeric properties (we will not bore anyone with the chemistry). The basic ingredients are formulated and mixed as a liquid and then cured at elevated temperatures to produce a solid elastomeric product. Although it is typically grouped with rubbers, polyurethane tends to outperform similar materials in demanding dynamic applications.
