Polyurethane plastic is a tough and flexible material used across a range of industries. It is often used as an alternative to rubber and general plastic, offering combined qualities with toughness and durability.
At Plasticut, we meet a wide range of your demands with polyurethane plastic, as it can be welded, joined and moulded.
We’re your go-to for machinery and industrial applications that require high-quality plastic.
Key Properties:
Polyurethane plastic has a wide range of qualities, making it versatile, durable and high-performing for whatever your application. For example:
- Abrasion Resistant: Polyurethane is typically longer lasting than rubber, withstanding wear and abrasion.
- Load Bearing: It has a high load-bearing capacity, handling extreme weight and compression without losing shape.
- Shock Absorbing: As polyurethane absorbs shock well, it is a dampener for noise and vibration.
- Chemical Resistant: It is highly resistant to oils, solvents, fats and greases, making polyurethane stronger than rubber.
- Tear Resistant: Even when cut, polyurethane is hard to tear and generally resistant.
Where Is Polyurethane Used?
Polyurethane is a high-quality and durable material used across a wide range of industries and found in daily items, including:
Industrial Mining:
Polyurethane is often used for building items for industrial purposes, including conveyor scrapers, chute liners or pump impellers.
Automotive Transport:
In the automotive industry, you can find the use of polyurethane in caster wheels, forklift tyres, and suspension bushes.
Manufacturing:
Polyurethane is commonly used for drive belts, manufacturing rollers and cutting blocks in manufacturing processes.

FAQ’s
Both materials are flexible and resilient, but polyurethane is more resistant to abrasion and has a higher load-bearing capacity. Plus, when rubber is exposed to chemicals and oils, it isn’t as durable as polyurethane.
Yes. Polyurethane can be bonded to metal during the casting or manufacturing process, often making it particularly useful for industrial applications.
Polyurethane is not scratch-proof, though it is durable; it can be cut by sharp objects, so you should take care when handling sharp objects that could scratch its surface.
It is very straightforward to clean polyethylene as it doesn’t absorb moisture. You can use warm water and dish soap with a soft cloth to wipe down the surface of your polyethylene.
