Polyurethane is an extraordinary elastomeric material renowned for its exceptional physical properties. Polyurethane exhibits toughness, flexibility, resistance to abrasion and extreme temperatures, puncture resistance, and a broad hardness range. It combines the strength of metal with the elasticity of rubber, making it a versatile material for various applications.

It is increasingly being specified to replace traditional materials such as metals and wood in a growing number of situations. It offers exceptional tear strength and flexibility, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring these properties.

We offer cast polyurethane in basic shapes such as rods, tubes, and sheets. Additionally, we provide custom-made components tailored to your specific requirements.

POM material, commonly called Acetal or Polyacetal is a remarkable material known for its properties of providing high strength and stiffness, ensuring enhanced dimensional stability and excellent machinability. Its semi-crystalline structure exhibits a low coefficient of friction and excellent wear properties making it ideal for sliding applications. With a high modulus of elasticity, rigidity, and good electrical properties, Polyacetal continuously proves to be a versatile material.

Polyacetal offers excellent resistance to moisture, gasoline, solvents, and many other neutral chemicals. It is recommended for operating temperatures of up to 82°C.

Polyacetal has good dimensional stability and particularly good fatigue strength, as well as excellent machining ability even for complex finished components. Typical product applications for this material include bearings, bushings, electrical insulators, electrical components, gears, machine guides, rollers, timing screws, anti-friction parts, and pulleys.

At Classic Polymers, we specialise in manufacturing Polyacetal in various forms to meet your specific needs. Our range includes rods ranging from 6 mm to 300 mm in diameter, available in metre/foot lengths/custom lengths. Sheets are available in thicknesses ranging from 3 mm to 150 mm, with sizes of 2000 mm x 1000 mm, 1000 x 620 mm / Custom Sizes. Additionally, we provide custom-fabricated components tailored to your requirements.

Cast Polyamide 6 (Cast Nylon 6 or PA 6) is one of the most versatile thermoplastics. Cast Nylon is a polymer characterised by its high molecular weight and its highly crystalline nature. With its unparalleled toughness, wear resistance, tensile strength, and lubricity, Nylon perfectly caters to the rigorous demands of modern engineers.

This exceptional material serves as an ideal replacement for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials, offering numerous benefits such as noise reduction, reduced lubrication requirements, and minimised downtime.

Nylon can be easily machined using standard general-purpose machinery, allowing for seamless integration into various applications.

Through the incorporation of additives such as oil, solid lubricants, thermal stabilisers, or specialised fillers, the inherent properties of cast nylon materials can be finely tuned to suit specific applications, thus offering a diverse array of materials tailored to various needs. Furthermore, cast polyamide 6 stands out as an excellent alternative to metal, boasting fatigue resistance, noise reduction, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties. PA 6 is a low maintenance material when compared with other metals such as iron, aluminium, brass and bronze.

‘PA 6 M’ – Cast Polyamide MoS2

PA6 M Grade is grey-black in colour and is a filled grade of polyamide that incorporates finely divided particles of Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) throughout the material. This unique addition acts as a solid lubricant, enhancing the material's load-bearing capacity, wear resistance, tensile properties, dimensional stability, heat resistance, and reducing surface friction compared to the natural grade. Additionally, this grade is UV stabilised and recommended for working temperatures of up to 130°C.
