Urethane sand spreaders feature high-performance polyurethane. We have the unique ability to tailor our physical properties of the raw urethane materials that are being utilized to produce a superior line of custom urethane sand spreaders for snow and ice control equipment. A variety of additives can be added to enhance wear properties, add lubricity, UV stabilized, flame retardant, or to reduce static build up.
Urethane sand spreaders have been used by airports, state highway departments and municipal road crews.
