WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF URETHANE GASKETS?

1... Abrasion Resistant & Higher Load Bearing Capacity

Urethane is the toughest, most abrasion-resistant of all elastomeric materials. Urethane is a preferred material for gaskets due to its unwavering strength and durability. It can outperform plastic, rubber, and even steel when faced with environmental factors like oil, acid, and many chemicals. A poor quality or ill-fitting gasket, however, could cause chronic leaks or failures, resulting in a catastrophic impact on a product or process.

2... Highly Flexible In A Variety Of Temperatures

Polyurethane gaskets are well-known for their ability to conform to the shape of their application, withstand changing weather conditions, and remain flexible in within certain temperature changes. Urethane, depending on the formula, will remain flexible down to -90°F and can withstand temperatures of up to 250°F, though it may soften before that point and lose load-bearing capacity; urethane can withstand intermittently higher temperatures.
