Casting methode

A moulding method that involves a low filling pressure and an exothermic chemical reaction

Polyurethane is poured into a mould at low pressure and allowed to cure. But don’t let the straightforward process fool you.

The custom polyurethane casting process enables a tremendous amount of customization to the polyurethane’s chemistry. By customizing the polyurethane formulation, we are able to provide the best performing material for your application. Custom urethane casting also has an advantage in producing large products, or products with both thick and thin sections. These geometries are challenging for other moulding methods.

Polyurethane casting provides a handful of advantages including flexibility in design and production and high production rate. This can be especially beneficial when creating product prototypes or enhancing an already existing product without reinventing the wheel. The most common benefits of choosing polyurethane casting over-moulding will catch the eye of engineers and project managers alike.

To fully understand what polyurethane casting is, we need to break it down into a few parts. The overall versatility of polyurethane opens the doors into a wide range of casting options, many of which involve a moulding process. This speaks volumes to the overall versatility using polyurethane, which is made possible in that it begins as a liquid before any casting or moulding can take place. Being a liquid allows engineers to form polyurethane material into a variety of shapes and sizes.
