Industrial Part Making

Industrial, prototype, or restoration applications have specific requirements that can only be met by making a custom part. Liquid thermoset polyurethane is a desired, low-cost material for making durable and long-lasting parts. High-end urethane plastics and rubbers can generate specific parts that other materials cannot. You can cast anything from small, simple pieces to large, complex ones. Some common parts made with urethane include gears, prototypes, housings, enclosures, tubes, rings, etc.

Though metal parts are highly durable, they require advanced machinery, which makes small batches costly to produce. Instead, you can quickly manufacture high-quality parts at low volumes by casting urethane. A urethane part imbues metal-like strength and properties while curing at room temperature. These parts are tough enough to be machined using CNC and sawed to specific dimensions. Whether you need a soft or rigid part, urethane is adaptable for any project.

Many other cheap materials exist for industrial part making, but urethane rubber and plastic have the most success. These materials cure much faster without the need for large machinery. Urethane can be poured or injected, retains fine surface detail, and varies in hardness. These parts also have a lot of success due to their longevity and superior physical properties. They can copy most other materials while maintaining the inherent benefits of urethane.

VFI has served industrial part makers for over 25 years with proven formulas that work for all types of industries. We manufacture a range of urethane casting materials, including medium hard rubbers and rigid plastics:

Our 75 – 80 D Injectable Plastics are fast-setting with high strength. They offer a quick demold time to speed up production for continuous casting.
Our Casting Plastics come in slow and fast formulas depending on the desired production speed and final detail. You will be able to pour multiple parts in one day. They are highly recommended when parts need to be machined or painted for aesthetic purposes.
Our Casting Rubbers come in different formulas with varying hardnesses and properties. They are ideal when casting parts in metal or urethane molds of varying sizes.
