Urethane rub strips are also commonly called urethane wear strips and act as a buffer between two objects since urethane has a great ability to only absorb an impact and return to its original size. Urethane rub strips also reduce vibration with a long service life due to additives like Armorglide and Molly oil that is mixed into the urethane material evenly.
As the urethane rub strip wears, additives like armorglide or moly will continue to add lubricity and abrasion resistance throughout the life of the urethane rub strips. High strength or bolt-on applications often times have a steel insert or bar molded into the rub strip for added strength as a medium hard durometer is recommended for maximum service life and vibration control. Plan Tech has a full in-house machine shop ready to make a mold to match any profile needed for a truly custom urethane rub strip or we can reverse engineer an exciting part to reproduce high-quality rub strips often times hundreds less than OEM parts with the ability to tailor any physical property or color of the urethane material.
Our largest demand for urethane rub strips is a large boat dock manufacturer, the custom rub strips we manufacture have the boat dock manufacturer company’s logo molded into the rub strip and is specially formulated to withstand underwater applications as well as being exposed to any climate.
For over 30 years we have focused on using speed and precision to manufacture the highest quality industrial cast urethane rub strips 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 urethane rub strips while maintaining the quality control and cost effectiveness our customers require. The tests are performed according to an established set of standards provided by an accredited testing organization such as the Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) who define the procedures in detail.
