Casted poliurethane is a next generation material provided with certified technical characteristics.
There is wide range of poliurethane systems (also with raw material certified for the food industry) able to
resist to the most critical chemical and mechanical conditions. We are available to advise you on the best
system to manufacture your items.
Please find below a chart with a poliurethane system in comparison with rubber compounds and silicones.
