Polyurethane Is A Versatile Elastomer
The Final Comparisons
Polyurethanes were invented in the 1930s by Professor Dr. Otto Bayer as a replacement for rubber. Uses began to diversify after WWII and now they are used in all types of products from coatings and adhesives to skateboard wheels, Spandex, mattresses and foam insulation.
Polyurethanes are a very versatile elastomer, or artificial rubber. Properties can be manipulated through chemistry, allowing it to take on a multitude of unique qualities. Over the past 20 years Americule Inc. has focused on the abrasion resistant traits, producing tough, long-lasting urethane products for a variety of industries.
