Tufset Polyurethane
Tufset is a high quality rigid polyurethane engineering plastics material. Produced in standard forms of round bar and plate for subsequent machining into engineering components. Tufset polyurethane can also be used for moulded components.
Tufset polyurethane has proved to be a very versatile engineering material and is used by all types of manufacturing industries. It machines well and has good mechanical strength. It can be used for moulding large components and can be more satisfactory and cost effective than injection moulded thermoplastics.
Tufset Characteristics
- Available in stock shapes or moulding's
- Bar up to 150mm diameter
- Plate up to 100mm thick
- Easily machined - burr free finish
- Good resistance to chemicals, weather and UV radiation
- Very good electrical and mechanical properties
- Low water absorption
Tufset Applications
- Electrical - Insulations in industrial plugs and sockets, electronic assembly jigs, multi-track tape heads, stand-off insulators, printed circuit board testing boxes, transformer bushings, insulating parts in cable gland connectors, insulating blocks in TV cameras.
- Mechanical - Model and pattern making, star wheels and guide plates, idler gears on textile machines, guides and wear strips in paper and board handling, bushes on ticket machines, scroll cams, spur and worm gears in welding machine, bearing in glass cutting plant, needle guides on carpet looms, bolster pads on hot stamping machines.
- Chemical - Plating plant chain guide blocks, mixing bowls and hoppers, rollers and spacers in photo processing equipment, electro chemical machining jigs, components in contact with liquid helium and mercury, chemical cleaning fixtures.
- Environmental - Yacht fittings, bushes on caravan towing gear, scaffold-rail holders, bearings on cattle feed conveyors.
