Polyurethane is engineered for high-performance sealing in demanding environments. Unlike traditional rubber, which can degrade under friction and pressure, polyurethane maintains its elasticity and strength—even at extreme speeds.
Its low friction properties help reduce heat buildup and energy loss, both critical for extending seal life in rotating equipment. Polyurethane also stands out for its chemical resistance, making it a trusted choice in aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications where exposure to oils, fuels, and harsh chemicals is common.
High-speed rotating equipment is found in a variety of industries, and polyurethane seals play a key role in ensuring reliable performance.
Selecting the best polyurethane seal depends on your specific application. Factors such as operating speed, pressure, temperature, and exposure to chemicals all influence seal performance.
For applications requiring flexibility, a softer durometer provides better adaptability, while a harder durometer offers increased strength for high-load environments. Standard polyurethane formulations can handle temperatures up to 200°F, but advanced blends can withstand over 300°F for extreme conditions. Learn more about polyurethane temperature range.
Additionally, low-friction polyurethane options help reduce heat generation, making them ideal for high-speed rotating parts.
