Polyurethane (PU) vs. Rubber: The Ultimate Wear Comparison

#Polyurethane #PU vs Rubber #Wear Liners #Industrial Elastomer
In many high-impact and abrasive applications, industrial rubber is the 'old standard'. However, field data proves that Polyurethane (PU) from JSLT Polymers® (Factory Direct) consistently outlasts rubber by a factor of 3 to 1. This report explains the mechanical superiority of our cast PU sheets.
📑 In this article

1. Tear Strength and Elasticity

While rubber can crack or chunk under sharp impact, our PU maintains high elongation at break with superior tear resistance. This makes it ideal for grain chutes, aggregate liners, and high-rebound industrial rollers.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

❓ What hardness range do you offer?

We cast PU from 60 Shore A (soft) to 95 Shore A (hard) to match your specific application requirements.

❓ Can PU be bonded to steel?

Yes, we offer PU sheets with expanded metal or steel backing for easy mechanical installation in heavy-duty hoppers.
