Cast Molded Durethane® S Solid Polyurethanes
Cast molding with MPC’s Durethane® S solid polyurethanes offers product designers a powerful combination of design flexibility, development speed, and high-performance material properties. Unlike injection molding, which relies on costly hard tooling and thermoplastic materials, cast molding uses simpler, lower-cost molds and is optimized for high performing Durethane® S, known for its exceptional abrasion resistance, chemical durability, and wide hardness range. Our process enables rapid prototyping, allowing for faster design iteration and validation before scaling to full production. Whether you’re producing a handful of parts or scaling to hundreds of thousands, cast molding with Durethane® S delivers precision, adaptability, and consistent quality across complex geometries and demanding applications.
Key Advantages of Cast Molded Durethane® S:
- Material Versatility: Support a broad range of durometers and physical properties for tailored performance
- Lower Tooling Costs: Tooling options reduce upfront investment and accelerate product development
- Rapid Prototyping: Enables quick iteration and testing without long lead times or expensive tooling
- Scalable Production: From prototyping to high-volume manufacturing with robust quality control
Case Study
An offshore energy customer approached MPC to replace a machined metal enclosure used in a sensitive electronic assembly exposed to harsh marine conditions. Their existing solution was costly, prone to corrosion, and difficult to scale. Leveraging our cast polyurethane process, we engineered a custom enclosure that met stringent dimensional and performance specifications while offering superior resistance to saltwater, humidity, and temperature extremes. The result was a durable, lightweight alternative that not only outperformed marine-grade metals in corrosive environments but also delivered substantial cost savings and streamlined production, helping the customer scale efficiently without compromising reliability.
