Millathane Polyurethanes Withstand Mining Operations

TSE Industries has published an article about the advantages of Millathane^® millable polyurethanes in mining and other high-abrasion environments. Applications include conveyor belts, hoses, solid tires, bearings, bushings, seals, gaskets, and vibration isolators. Millathane^® polyurethanes can also be applied as a tough, protective layer to conventional rubber surfaces for greater abrasion resistance and durability.

As the article explains, Millathane^® products are available in polyester and polyether grades and compound durometers ranging from 30 to 95 (Shore A). These materials have properties not found in other natural or synthetic rubber materials, and different grades can be blended to achieve intermediate properties. Some Millathane^® grades also provide excellent low-temperature performance.
