High Performance Hot-Cast Elastomers for Demanding Industrial Applications
Hot-Cast Elastomers for Precision, Strength, and Long-Cycle Reliability
UrePac® Hot-Cast elastomers are formulated for components that operate under heavy loads, abrasive contact, and continuous mechanical stress. Built using TDI prepolymers with matched curatives, these systems deliver the mechanical strength, toughness, and resilience required across mining, industrial processing, and high-load manufacturing.
Processed through heated tooling and controlled temperature conditions, UrePac® Hot-Cast systems achieve stable mechanical properties, dimensional consistency, and extended service life — even in aggressive slurry environments and high-impact applications.
