Polyurethane Abrasion Resistance
The outstanding abrasion resistance of molded urethane elastomers has benefited hundreds of applications where severe wear presents a serious problem such as ore mining, and sand & gravel processing.
Field applications have proven open cast polyurethane's provide a definite wear advantage due to its superior abrasion resistant properties.
In working service, molded Polyurethane has outworn rubbers and plastics, as well as steel and even ceramics, often by a factor of 10 to 1.
The table below provides a comparison of abrasion resistant properties of open cast polyurethane with rubbers and plastics.
