Vacuum Assisted Casting Polyurethanes Print E-mail

Polyurethanes designed by Innovative Polymers for vacuum assisted casting are formulated in hardnesses from Shore 50A to Shore 85D.  The product line includes two water clear materials as well as a variety of colorable products.  With a broad range of physical performance properties, the systems are well suited for use in a variety of applications:

Vacuum Assisted Casting Polyurethanes feature low viscosities with rapid gel times of four to 18 minutes.  Shore A systems have high elongation of tear strength.  Shore D systems include materials with ultra-high flexural modulus, good tensile strength and high heat resistance for use at temperatures up to 199ºF (93ºC).
