Polyurethane coatings for technical rollers and cylinders
Polyurethane elastomers are rubber-elastic chemical compounds with exceptional physical and mechanical properties. Polyurethane has established itself as a versatile, technical construction material and thus covers a very wide range of applications.
Rollers and cylinders with PU coating that meet the highest standards
If the demands on your rollers and cylinders are increasing, a PU coating may be the solution. Polyurethane is characterized by numerous advantages, but above all by its resistance to physical impact. Moreover, the material is also resistant to grease and oil as well as acids and alkalis and thus can withstand a wide range of temperatures. Rollers or cylinders with a polyurethane coating can also be used under dynamic loads without any problems. The material offers good adhesive properties and noise damping, does not stain and leaves no residue on the surface.
Key properties of polyurethane elastomers
- High abrasion resistance
- High load-bearing capacity, even under dynamic impact
- Wide hardness range (10° ShA to 85° ShD)
- High elasticity across the entire hardness range
- Flexibility over a wide temperature range (-35°C to +90°C)
- Good resistance to many oils, greases and solvents
- Good resistance to ozone, UV and high-energy radiation
Primary groups of polyurethane coatings
- Polyester polyurethanes
- Polyether polyurethanes
- Mixed systems
Blended systems fall between polyester and polyether systems in terms of their property profile. TYP AG also supplies grades with FDA-approved components for the food industry. In addition, we can also help you in your search for electrically conductive coatings for rollers & cylinders.
Areas of application for rollers and cylinders with PU coating
The advantageous properties of a PU coating make the material attractive for many branches of industry. For example, polyurethane is used as a coating system for drive rollers, transport rollers (including heavy-duty), folding cylinders, feed cylinders, etc. PU-coated rollers and cylinders are used in the following sectors, for example: Logistics, printing and packaging, mechanical engineering, food and non-food production, pharmaceutical industry, mail processing, automation, medical technology, banknote processing.
