Advanced Materials for Demanding Energy Applications
MPC’s engineered polyurethanes are uniquely suited for industrial applications thanks to their combination of toughness, flexibility, and customizability. Unlike traditional materials that crack, corrode, or wear out under stress, polyurethane components maintain their integrity in high-friction, high-impact environments, making them ideal for rollers, seals, gaskets, and bumpers. Their ability to be engineered to specific hardness levels, shapes, and performance profiles allows designers to optimize for durability and performance.
Advantages of Polyurethane in Industrial Applications:
- Extended Product Life: Resists abrasion, chemicals, and temperature extremes for longer service intervals
- Customizable Performance: Tailored material properties and geometry to meet specific design needs
- Lubricant-Free Operation: Reduces contamination and simplifies maintenance in mechanical systems
- Static Dissipation Options: Conductive grades available for safe charge transfer in sensitive environments
Case Study
A leading utility truck manufacturer partnered with MPC to solve a critical safety challenge: designing a mechanical safety device for lift basket operators that could withstand extreme environmental conditions and daily wear. The part needed to perform reliably in the field while maintaining its integrity through temperature fluctuations, moisture exposure, and repeated use. MPC’s engineering team quickly identified a polyurethane formulation with the ideal balance of resilience and flexibility, enabling rapid prototyping within weeks. Through close collaboration and iterative design, the customer successfully launched the product with a product that delivered consistent performance, enhanced safety, and long-term durability in demanding utility environments.
