Polyurethane Pads

Polyurethane pads are heavy-duty, replaceable lining solutions used to protect metal surfaces from abrasion and impact damage that shortens equipment life and drives up maintenance costs. Wherever abrasive materials are being moved, processed, or contained, urethane pads take the hit so your equipment doesn’t have to.

At Uniflex, we’ve been manufacturing custom molded urethane and rubber products since 1979. Our polyurethane pads are produced in-house at our Brighton, Michigan facility, giving us direct control over quality, lead times, and pricing. The result: the same or better quality than the competition, at a lower cost.

Our standard pads are lightweight, modular, and hydrolytically stable for both indoor and outdoor use. They are shipped in square sections for cost-effective freight, easy handling, and faster installation. Need something outside our standard range? Custom sizing from 1″ to 70″ wide and up to 138″ long is available with little to no setup charges.

Urethane pads are a trusted solution across a wide range of B2B industries. Here’s where they’re most commonly used:

Mining Industry

Aggregate handling, abrasive media handling, hopper liners, chute liners, shaker screen liners, conveyor skirting, belt wipers. Polyurethane wear pads are especially valuable in high-volume, high-abrasion mining environments where metal components face constant punishment.

Metal Forming Industry

Hydraulic press pads, metal stamping pads, forming pads, impact pads, vibration dampening pads. Urethane’s resistance to deformation under load makes it ideal for metal forming applications.

Construction Industry

Plate compactor pads, concrete mixer drum liners, charge hopper liners, mixing paddles, scrapers, and concrete handling equipment. Urethane pads stand up to the constant abrasion of aggregate and concrete materials.

Agricultural Industry

Grain chute liners, hopper liners, truck bed liners, conveyor skirting, belt wipers, and pipe liners. Urethane pads extend the service life of grain handling equipment exposed to constant material flow.

Food and Beverage Industry

Tabletop covers, cutting boards, cutting surface liners, scraper blades, and general equipment liners. Available in FDA-approved wet and dry urethane formulas for food-safe applications.

Oil, Gas, and Material Handling

General equipment lining, impact protection, and abrasion/chemical-resistant urethane pads for high-demand industrial environments. Uniflex serves the oil and gas sector with both standard and custom solutions.

Superior Abrasion and Impact Resistance

Unlike steel or aluminum, polyurethane resists abrasive wear without marring, cracking, or deforming. It absorbs impact energy rather than transferring it to underlying metal components, dramatically extending equipment service life.

Lightweight and Modular Design

Our urethane pads are produced in modular square sections, making them easy to ship, handle, and install. Damaged sections can be replaced individually without removing the entire liner, reducing both downtime and replacement costs.

Cost-Effective Protection

Replacing a urethane pad liner is a fraction of the cost of repairing or replacing damaged metal equipment. Uniflex keeps prices low through in-house design, machining, and manufacturing, with no middlemen driving up costs.

Versatile Formulations

Polyurethane pads can be molded in virtually any size, durometer, color, and formulation. Whether you need FDA-compliant material, a Vulkollan equivalent, or a high-performance polyether for extreme conditions, we have a formula to match your application.

What are polyurethane pads used for?

Polyurethane pads are used to protect metal equipment surfaces from abrasion and impact damage caused by handling bulk materials like aggregate, grain, concrete, or ore. They act as a replaceable liner, absorbing wear so the underlying metal doesn’t have to.

How do urethane impact pads compare to rubber pads?

Polyurethane typically offers superior abrasion resistance compared to standard rubber, especially in applications involving sharp or angular abrasive materials. It also handles higher load-bearing demands better than most rubber compounds.

Can urethane pads be used outdoors?

Yes. All of Uniflex’s standard polyurethane pads are hydrolytically stable and rated for both indoor and outdoor use.

Do you offer FDA-approved urethane pads for food applications?

Yes. We offer both FDA wet and FDA dry urethane formulas, suitable for use in food and beverage processing environments.

What durometer should I choose?

85A is our most commonly ordered durometer and works well for most general abrasion and impact applications. For heavy impact loads, 90A may be more appropriate. For applications requiring more flexibility, 60A or 70A may be a better fit. Contact us, and we’ll help you choose.

Do you offer volume discounts on urethane pads?

Yes. Uniflex offers significant discounts on bulk orders. Contact us directly to discuss pricing for high-volume requirements.
