Formulated of copolymers of ether or ester based urethanes, this material is used in a wide application of seals, wipers, back-up rings, cushions, bumpers, and a myriad of other uses. Highly resistant to oil swell, ozone, oxidation and abrasion, it also has excellent cut resistance. Highly resilient, urethanes also have high tensile strength and elongation properties. Urethanes remain an excellent choice in hydraulic systems using petroleum based fluids. Most urethane seals remain flexible and efficient in temperatures ranging from -65° F to +200° F with some able to withstand intermittent temperatures up to +300° F.
