Polyurethane Rod Stock
Polyurethane Rod Stock
Our Polyurethane Rod Stock is manufactured from high-performance cast polyurethane elastomers designed for industrial machining and fabrication. These solid round PU rods offer exceptional abrasion resistance, impact strength, and dimensional stability, making them ideal for producing custom industrial components.
Key Features & Advantages
- Excellent Wear Resistance: Designed for high-friction and heavy-load applications.
- High Impact Strength: Resists cracking and deformation under repeated shock.
- Superior Machinability: Can be turned, drilled, milled, and shaped using conventional machining tools.
- Oil & Chemical Resistance: Performs reliably in industrial environments.
- Wide Hardness Range: From medium flexibility to high rigidity for structural parts.
- Long Service Life: Outperforms rubber and many thermoplastics.
