What is cast Polyurethane:
Cast polyurethane is an elastic material that can be very soft (like rubber) or very hard (similar to a plastic like nylon). This versatility allows polyurethane to be utilized in many different application areas such industrial wheels and rollers, oilfield parts, mining, agriculture, and recreation. Below are the advantages of polyurethane versus other materials.
