Tufset Polyurethane
Tufset®
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.
