PUR

PUR – Polyurethane

PUR

Polyurethanes comprise a large number of plastics, with diverse properties. The material presented here is an ester-based plastic with qualities similar to those of rubber. It is flexible and stretchy. The group of elastic PUR plastics contains materials with a wide range of hardness values. The standard range is Shore 65A–95A. We deliver PUR as plastics sheets and rods.
