Why Polyurethane is Superior to Metal

Many industries prefer the versatility and durability of urethane over metal. Below are some key advantages of using polyurethane over metal.

· Outstanding Sound Dampening: polyurethane products offer great shock absorption and noise reduction, resulting in a much quieter operating environment – especially when compared to metal parts.

· Lighter Weight: it is not surprising that polyurethane parts weigh less than metal. This offers a huge advantage in many sectors like the automotive industry where manufacturers are constantly looking for opportunities to reduce vehicle weight.

· Elastomeric: polyurethane can be compressed up to 25% of its normal size and still rebound back to its original size. Conversely, metal is not an elastomer and has no ability to flex.

· Non-Marring: polyurethane does not mar material it comes in contact with whereas the metal often marks or damages materials it contacts.

· Abrasion, Chemical, and Corrosion Resistance: polyurethane can be customized to handle a variety of applications, including abrasive, water and chemical environments.

· Cost effective: polyurethane parts are typically less expensive to mold than metal, especially for low volume runs.
