POLYURETHANE are a polymer; they come in a variety of types and are also known as elastomers. Polyurethane is a chemical based material. It can be used on many of the same applications as rubber, such as wear components on industrial machinery and protective coverings but can also be adapted and used in such things as insulation products, paint, and furniture padding.

Polyurethane is easily processed and can be moulded via open or closed cast moulds and injection moulding.
