Material Notes:
Polyurethane
elastomer is a polytetramethylene glycol ether based polyurethane elastomer
featuring superior resilience, low temperature properties, low compression set,
excellent hydrolytic stability, and resistance to attack by microorganisms. Its typical applications include wheels, seals, and gaskets.
