Industrial polyurethane elastomer casting
Discuss material and process requirements for elastomer parts, rollers and PU wheels.
Polyurethane elastomer casting is a separate process from PU foam production. The manufacturing partner lists a polyurethane elastomer casting machine in its equipment catalogue. Industrial parts, rollers and PU wheels are potential applications for technical review; the applicable material grade, process and equipment configuration must be confirmed for each project.
Configuration to review
| Topic | Review | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Casting equipment | Metering, mixing and temperature control | Prepolymer and curing component, ratios, viscosity and processing temperatures |
| Roller or wheel tooling | Mould, core and part handling | Dimensions, core preparation, bonding, curing and demoulding |
| Production process | Casting and downstream operations | Shot size, pot life, cure cycle, throughput and acceptance criteria |
Prepare for a technical review
- Material — Share material grade and supplier data sheets, mix ratio, viscosity and processing temperatures.
- Part requirements — Provide drawings, sizes, hardness, core or insert details and required performance.
- Process and output — Describe moulds, casting method, cure schedule, shot sizes and production targets.
Discuss an elastomer casting project
Send material data and part drawings so the team can assess feasibility and configuration.
