Urethane Parts For Marine Usage Urethane Components Outlast Other Materials

Urethane for marine/maritime usage is growing rapidly because of its incredible flexibility, versatility and strength. The ability to "dial in" urethane to your marine specifications allows for parts and equipment exactly suited to your requirements. With urethane there is no water absorption, it can carry high loads, it's non-marking, has good UV stabilization and strongly resists the growth of algae and/ or fungus. Best of all, tooling & mold costs for urethane are low often under $200.
