The Beginner’s Guide To Polyurethane . About Polyurethane Polyurethanes are one type of a large family of elastic polymers called rubber. Unlike conventional rubber, polyurethanes start out as liquids and can be cast in low-pressure molds. Here at Gallagher, we also process thermoplastic urethanes that lend themselves well to injection molding. What polyurethane should you be […]

Is Urethane Rubber? Urethane is a member of the broader family of Rubber. Rubber embraces a large group of materials. Materials that have the ability, under certain conditions, to undergo large deformations. Yet they recover almost completely on the release of the deforming force. This elasticity is due to the repetition of long molecular chains
