Applications of polyurethane elastomers today and in the future
The high performance properties make polyurethane elastomers the material of choice for an endless assortment of mechanical and manufacturing goods, including gaskets, casters, hammerheads, elastomer-lined pipe, oil pipeline pigs, cable jacketing and cone dischargers used in taconite mining. They are also used in electrical potting, farming equipment, recreational goods including golf carts and snowmobiles, golf ball covers, swim fins, bicycle tires, football helmet liners, bowling balls and pins, and pour-in-place running tracks. Medical equipment uses include antishock trousers and artificial heart chambers.
Now let us look at some examples.
Conduit to life. The disposable tubing used in heart/lung machines in the well over 100,000 open heart and coronary bypass operations performed yearly used to be made entirely of PVC. Now, a PVC tube lined with polyurethane elastomer provides improved compatibility with blood and better resistance to the abrasion caused by the continuous rolling of peristaltic pumps. Because polyurethane elastomers can be fabricated without plasticizers, there is no danger of these toxic compounds migrating into the blood.
TPUs get the boot. Polyurethane elastomers provide strength, stiffness and flex properties demanded of a ski boot at subzero temperatures. Light weight and superior comfort, acceptable cycle times, consistent color and a long-lasting, hard, high gloss finish are other advantages TPUs bring to this application.
Chopper protector. The Army wanted a one-piece helicopter cover to keep copters weather-safe and action-ready. The covers had to be flexible, yet tough, as well as abrasion, weather and fuel resistant and repairable in the field. They also wanted covers in different colours to distinguish various models of aircraft. Polyurethane elastomers filled the bill.
Tags iron out herd management. Manufacturers of the millions of ear tags made yearly for domestic use and export need a material that resists degradation by moisture, oxidation, tearing and abrasion; that remains flexible even at low temperatures; and is lightweight It also helps if the material can be pigmented and even impregnated with insecticide. Polyurethane elastomers fit these criteria, offering cattle owners an excellent aid to herd management
And what about future applications of elastomers?
Tomorrow may see additional applications for polyurethane elastomers in space. Chances are good that the high performance characteristics of these materials will also be used to expand the horizons of telecommunications, electronics and other burgeoning technologies.
Whatever chapters the next decade or so adds to the history of elastomers, one thing is certain: new opportunities to exploit the inherent and unduplicated versatility and performance of these materials will continue to arise in the marketplace - and polyurethane producers will continue to respond.
