Polyurethane elastomers (PUR)

Polyurethane elastomers (PUR) are highly valued for their flexibility, wear resistance and durability. With a hardness range from 30 Shore A to 99 Shore A, PUR elastomers can be adapted to a variety of demanding industrial applications.

Main features

Hardness range

30 Shore A to 99 Shore A: PUR elastomers are available in a wide range of hardnesses, making it possible to choose the right material for specific applications, from very soft to very stiff.

Mechanical properties

High Wear Resistance: Excellent abrasion and tear resistance, ideal for applications requiring increased durability.
Flexibility and resilience: PUR retains its flexibility even at low temperatures and has excellent resilience, allowing rapid recovery after deformation.
Mechanical resistance: Good tensile strength and resistance to deformation under load.

Chemical Resistance

Good Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to oils, greases, solvents and many chemicals, making them suitable for aggressive chemical environments.

Special Properties

Shock and vibration damping: Excellent damping properties, reducing vibration and noise.
Grip and coefficient of friction: Good coefficient of friction, offering good grip in dynamic applications.

Available shades

PUR 30 Shore A: Very flexible, ideal for applications requiring high flexibility.
PUR 60 Shore A: Balance between flexibility and mechanical strength, often used for seals and gaskets.
PUR 90 Shore A: Highly resistant, used in applications where high wear resistance is required.
PUR 99 Shore A: Extremely rigid, used for components requiring high rigidity.
