Polyurethane, or Urethane, is available in several different forms such as thermoplastic, thermoset, coatings and foams (flexible, semi-rigid, rigid and integral skin). Most can be supplied in polyether or polyester formulations. The ethers are generally better for use in contact with water and have higher heat resistance. The esters have higher abrasion and oil resistance.
Polyurethanes are versatile engineering materials designed to provide properties not available in conventional rubbers, metals and plastics. Typically they have higher oil and solvent resistance, along with greater abrasion and tear resistance. Impact strength, low compression set and superior load bearing capacity are also important engineering characteristics.
