Injection Molded Polyurethane for Customized Solutions

Urethane Injection Molding

Injection molded polyurethane, also called urethane injection molding, is a manufacturing process that melts solid TPU pellets and injects the flowable material into a precision mold. The mold shapes the material into durable, high-quality components. This process produces parts with tight tolerances, smooth surfaces, and precise dimensions. It works well for complex geometries, including thin walls, internal grooves, and intricate shapes.

Compared with cast urethane, injection-molded parts have higher stiffness, excellent tensile strength, and superior chemical and abrasion resistance. They withstand demanding industrial, automotive, aerospace, and consumer applications. This method delivers structural reliability and aesthetic quality, supporting both prototyping and high-volume production.

Our Urethane Injection Molding Capabilities

  • Custom Mold Design – Tailored molds to meet your exact specifications.
  • High Precision Production – Tight tolerances and consistent part quality.
  • Material Flexibility – 75 -95 Shore A formulations for specific performance requirements.
  • Insert & Overmolding – Bonding urethane to metals, plastics, or composites for enhanced strength.
  • Low-Volume & High-Volume Runs – Ideal for prototypes, pilot runs, or mass production.
  • Color & Formulation Options – Custom colors, anti-static, oil-resistant, or FDA-compliant grades.
  • Cosmetic Quality – Smooth, flat surfaces often require minimal post-processing.

Injection Mold Design & Technology

Injection molds typically consist of top and bottom structures, sometimes with multiple parts. We perform precision machining on contact surfaces to ensure:
  • Tight closure of the mold.
  • Prevention of material leakage.
  • Dimensional accuracy of finished parts.
  • Complete shape and excellent surface quality.
Our advanced mold design ensures that every urethane part meets functional and aesthetic requirements, even in complex or thin-walled geometries.

Materials & Technical Specifications

Our material options ensure urethane components perform reliably in diverse applications:
  • Hardness Range: Shore A 70–95.
  • Temperature Resistance: –40°C to 80°C (higher temperature grades available).
  • Abrasion Resistance: 3–5x better than rubber.
  • Chemical Resistance: Oils, fuels, solvents, and corrosion.
  • Structural Performance: High stiffness and tensile strength suitable for parts subjected to large external forces.
  • Part Sizes: From small precision components to large molded parts.

Cases of Injected Polyurethane Parts

Injected polyurethane wheels
PU wheels molded with elastomer hardness of 75–95 ± 3 Shore A deliver high elasticity, excellent abrasion resistance, and strong vibration damping. They ensure low-noise operation and provide a quieter working environment.
Coupling Insert Spider
Also known as flexible shaft couplings, these are injection-molded from durable TPU elastomers. They ensure smooth operation, reliable torque transmission, and effective absorption of vibration and shock.
Urethane Molded Wheels Bearings
Injection-molded polyurethane bearings allow for rapid mass production with consistent precision. This shortens production cycles, ensures dimensional accuracy, and enhances assembly quality.
Polyurethane Gasket
Injection-molded PU gaskets offer precise dimensions and a secure fit, preventing fluid or gas leakage. They balance cost and performance, outperforming many alternative gasket materials.
Urethane Seals
Available in various types, including U-Cup seals, rod seals, piston seals, and PU seals are widely used in hydraulic systems. They provide superior oil sealing and durability in construction machinery, tools, and hydraulic components.
Urethane O Rings
Injection-molded PU O-rings combine high strength, wear resistance, and oil, chemical resistance. They are widely used in roller conveyor systems as seamless drive belts and in sealing applications across industries.
