Production methods
Moulding (PU components)
Moulding produces polyurethane (PU) components by pouring liquid PU material into a mould.
First, the PU components are mixed into a homogeneous mass. Then the mixture is poured or sprayed into a preheated mould. After the material has hardened and taken the contours of the mould, the mould is opened and the finished product is removed.
Advantages of this method include high precision, the ability to create complex and detailed shapes, and customisation to specific hardness and elasticity requirements.
Limitations can be high initial tooling costs and the need for careful control over the mixing and curing processes.
This technology is widely used to manufacture PU components such as wheels, seals, gaskets and technical parts in the automotive, industrial and furniture industries, where durability and customisation for specific applications are crucial.
