Polyurethane injection molding continues to meet wide-ranging demands for strong, long-lasting goods across a spectrum of industries and applications. One of the older engineered materials and first invented during the 1940s, polyurethane has adapted to technologies over time.
When used in the polyurethane injection molding process, the material’s durability and flexibility make it a viable replacement for metal, wood or rubber. Polyurethane’s durability is demonstrated by the material’s ability to withstand harsh environments, including cold, without degradation. It is generally accepted that the material will perform well in the temperature range of -62°C to 93°C (-80°F to 200°F).
In addition, polyurethane injection molding material results in goods that can vary widely in hardness from flexible to stiff. The unusually high range of hardness relies on the engineered material’s molecular structure. The polyurethane plastic injection molding process can accommodate all levels of flexibility.
