Solid elastomer.Durethane S is a solid, open-cast, thermoset A polymer-based liquid or powder that becomes solid when heated, placed under pressure, treated with a chemical or via radiation. The curing process creates a chemical bond that, unlike a thermoplastic, prevents the material from being remelted. See thermoplastic. elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber. that is said to have excellent abrasion resistance, a high coefficient of friction coefficient of friction n. pl. coefficients of friction The ratio of the force that maintains contact between an object and a surface and the frictional force that resists the motion of the object. and tight surface finish specifications. All Durethane S formulations are individually compounded and tested to meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and requirements for tensile, tear, elongation, compression set, modulus, resilience and other specifications. The material can also be formulated with customized conductive properties to control static (ESD (1) (Electronic Software Distribution) Distributing new software and upgrades via the network rather than individual installations on each machine. See ESL. ) and for tribocharge management. Durethane S is used in high shock-and-wear applications, such as bumpers for pneumatic tools, and is in wide use in the paper-handling, postage meter, high-speed printer and film x-ray industries, according to the company. The firm has completed a partnership with Miracle Car Wash to develop solid urethane rollers for a car wash conveyor. The rollers are a special formulation of Durethane S, and are said to last up to three times longer than traditional conveyor rollers, resulting in significant savings in parts and labor for maintenance.
