Red 90A Shore Polyurethane Plastic Round Rod 37mm Diameter

Red Polyurethane Rod 90A Shore 37mm

Designed for demanding mechanical environments, this red polyurethane rod offers a combination of durability, resilience and wear resistance. It is particularly useful for components exposed to continuous friction, repeated loading and harsh outdoor conditions. Its ability to absorb sound and vibration also makes it suitable for applications where reducing operational noise is important.

Polyurethane is a thermosetting material that cannot be remoulded by reheating after curing. Achieving precise dimensions can be challenging, sharp high-speed steel cutting tools and suitable machining techniques are important, particularly for softer grades.

Common uses include vehicle suspension bushes, seals, gaskets, castors, wheels, shock absorbers, valve inserts, bearing seals, escalator components, roller-coaster wheels, snow-plough wear strips and fishing-trawler pulleys.

Key Features and Benefits

• Colour: Red
• Material: Polyurethane
• Diameter: 37mm
• Length: 300mm
• Hardness: 90A Shore
• Operating Temperature: Performs within a temperature range of -32°C to 82°C.
