Uniflex, Inc. is a trusted source of high-quality cast polyurethane products for a wide range of applications. Over the years, we’ve perfected our polyurethane manufacturing processes to create durable, yet highly customizable components for various industries. Thanks to our proprietary polyurethane formulations, we’re able to fabricate products, parts, components, and other items that can endure even the harshest environments.
What is Custom Polyurethane Tooling?
Polyurethane is any type of plastic polymer made using resinous and elastomeric compounds. Uniflex, Inc. focuses on polyurethanes engineered for high-stress use, which makes them ideal for industrial applications and other scenarios where durability and strength are required. Our products also have abrasion resistance, heat tolerance, and other characteristics that make them last under even the most demanding circumstances.
One other essential characteristic that makes polyurethane a versatile material is how it can be molded into any shape or configuration. The liquid resin is pumped into a pre-shaped mold cavity, allowed to harden, and then released from the mold.
Not only does this process allow for infinite customizability, but it also helps reduce production costs and turnaround time. Polyurethane allows Uniflex, Inc. to make any quality product efficiently and less expensively than other materials.
Custom Polyurethane Tooling Applications
Uniflex, Inc.‘s manufacturing process can be used for a range of applications, from a small, simple job to a large-scale, complex project. Some of the industries where our cast urethane products are often utilized include:
