Urethane may be molded into virtually any shape, size and geometry. Urethane is an excellent material which exhibits high abrasion resistance and typically outperforms rubber, plastic or metal in friction and impact environments. Urethane exhibits has very good chemical resistance to most solvents, chemicals, aliphatic based oils, and greases. Selected Urethane formulations have excellent dimensional stability over a broad range of temperatures and pressures. Urethane’s are also resistance to compression and tension set . Selected Urethane compounds have very  good electrical properties , such as dielectric strength, dielectric constant, and resistivity. Urethane is commonly used as a insulating material. 

Classic mold design or plastic injection molding rules apply as urethane exhibits similar mold-ability properties. See Plastic Injection Molding.

The following are common custom molded urethane products:

• Gears, urethane facilitates high impact, chemical, service abrasion resistance

• Rollers and rolls

• Shock absorbing pads, bumpers and similar parts

• Rings, tubes

• Sheaves and pulleys

• Paper industry products

• Consumer products
