Manufacturing custom urethane parts that effectively incorporate a metallic or non-metallic component requires a superior method for achieving a bond between the urethane and the substrate. Here at Plan Tech, we have developed preparation methods to consistently apply specially formulated urethane adhesives. Our proprietary equipment for cleaning, preparation, automated adhesive spray application and automated drying ensures a consistently high-strength bond between the urethane and the substrate. Over the past three decades we have adhered cast urethane to millions of parts with an outstanding record of part performance in demanding applications. Some of the materials that we bond to include: Steel Aluminum ABS Plastic UWMW PE Fabric Fiberglass Bronze Felt Please Contact us for further details or to answer your questions.
Machining Cast Polyurethane Parts – Custom Grinding!

Polyurethane is an ideal choice over rubber as polyurethane will outperform rubber on an average of 3 to […]
Urethane Funnels – Custom Polyurethane Funnels
Plan Tech urethane funnels are found in a variety of industries ranging from food processing to abrasives and from aggregate to toll booth coin collectors. These durable urethane funnels have been proven to outperform and outlast metallics and other plastics. Depending on quantity and configuration, we have a variety of molding methods to achieve the urethane funnel part that your application requires. A funnel is a pipe with a wide conical mouth and a narrow stem on the opposite side. Funnels are normally used to chancel liquid or fine fluid substances into some type of container. Utilizing funnels it helps prevent spillage. Funnels are usually made of stainless steel, aluminum, glass plastic and Plan Tech manufactures thousands of cast urethane funnels. The material used in its construction should be sturdy enough to withstand the weight of the substance being transferred, and it should not react with the substance. For over 30 years we have focused on using speed and precision to manufacture the highest quality industrial cast urethane funnels to our customers. A particular strength is the breadth of our in-house capabilities such as grinding urethane parts which, when combined with our extensive experience, enables us to deliver tight tolerance custom […]
