Polyurethane, or urethane, is one of the toughest elastomeric materials available, and one member of a large family of elastic polymers called rubber.  Urethane is a generic term.  How urethane is manufactured and fabricated determines its effectiveness in a specific application – because it begins as a liquid before processing, it can be easily cast or molded into most any size and shape, and be custom colored or left un-pigmented.  Urethane is far superior to other materials like metals, plastic, and rubber in many applications because of its outstanding properties and wear characteristics, including:

• Superior abrasion resistance
• Ability to be molded and bonded to many substrates
• Chemical and temperature resistance
• Broad durometer range
• High flex
• Non-corrosive
• Load bearing capacity
• Light weight
