In addition to the common rubber, polyurethane (PU) is also one of the most widely used materials in seals. It is widely used in hydraulic seals such as U-lip oil seals. We can also produce O-rings with polyurethane.
Polyurethane rubber mechanical properties are quite good, high hardness, high elasticity, abrasion resistance are difficult to compare with other rubbers; Aging resistance, ozone resistance, oil resistance is also quite good. The general use temperature range is -45~90 ℃. Advantages: wear resistance, high pressure resistance. Disadvantages: High temperature intolerance.
Polyurethane seals are widely used in high pressure and wear resistant seals in industry, such as hydraulic cylinder seals and high pressure and high charge systems.
