Even though we specifically make polyurethane rollers , which are much smaller than, and have a different use than polyurethane tires, we wanted to post this article to educate people about the difference between polyurethane and rubber tires. While polyurethane and rubber products sometimes appear to be variations of the same material, they are quite different in physical structure as well as beneficial qualities.
Rubber, as we know it, has been manufactured for more than years; polyurethanes, or urethanes, have been around for about half that time. To say that polyurethanes are an improvement over rubber is an understatement.
The qualities and benefits of polyurethanes are far superior to those of traditional rubber in a variety of applications. We excel in the production of custom-made plastic, rubber and polyurethane products.

Polyurethane rubber or polyurethane plastic Why are the terms polyurethane rubber and polyurethane plastic so often used?
What is polyurethane? Almost anything is possible Polyurethane compared to rubber and plastics Most variation in polyurethane is visible and tangible. The advantages of PU versus other materials in the industry are: PU versus Metals Absorbing sounds and noises instead of reverberating it Corrosion resistant Cheaper toolings for production Lighter in weight PU versus Rubber Available in different colours Cheaper toolings for production Extremely good performance in the 80A to 95A durometer range Easier production of complicated parts Better wear resistance No aging problems, such as drought cracks PU versus Plastics Elastomeric memory goes back in its original shape Easier production of complicated parts High wear resistance Retains high impact resistance, even at high hardnesses Not brittle Products of polyurethane The possibilities of polyurethane are almost infinite.

Disadvantages As silicone rubber has the best release properties, urethane rubber has the worst release properties and will adhere to just about anything.
Thorough model preparation is essential to successful mold making with urethane rubber. Though organic rubber is still harvested for use, the majority of rubber products manufactured today are made with synthetic rubber. Its elasticity, resilience, and toughness make rubber the basic component in the manufacturing of tires for cars, buses, trucks, aircraft, and bicycles.
Most rubber production is generated for the automotive sector. Half of all rubber produced goes into the manufacture of tires for automobiles alone. A large percentage goes into mechanical parts and components like bushings, mountings, gaskets, hoses, and belts.
Other rubber goods produced are for such consumer products as shoes, toys, clothing, and furniture. Both rubber and polyurethane are regarded for their elastic, flexible properties. Each material is commonly used in the manufacturing of parts and components in the automotive industry.
The largest user of polyurethane reaction injection-molded RIM parts is the automotive industry.
