Polyurethane Strips

Polyurethane Strips – Durable Protection for Industrial Equipment

At Uniflex, Inc., we have been providing durable, precision-engineered polyurethane strips since 1979. Designed to protect metal surfaces from abrasion, impact, and wear, our strips are a cost-effective alternative to traditional urethane sheets. Manufactured in Brighton, Michigan, and shipped across the United States, our strips serve industries where high-wear applications demand reliable solutions, including oil and gas, automotive, mining, robotics, material handling, and marine.

Unlike standard urethane sheets that often create excess waste when cut to size, our pre-sized or custom-cast strips minimize material loss while offering superior durability. We also offer direct bonding to metal surfaces, making our strips ideal for liners, bump stops, scraper blades, impact panels, and other high-performance applications.

From rapid prototyping to low- or high-volume production runs, Uniflex, Inc. delivers polyurethane strips that combine durability, precision, and cost-efficiency for any industrial project.

Here, you can easily purchase a variety of cast urethane rubber products, including urethane strips, polyurethane bars, urethane sheet, urethane bumpers, and urethane rods. No quotes needed!

Why Choose Polyurethane Strips?

Polyurethane strips provide a durable and cost-efficient solution for protecting equipment in high-wear environments. Designed to withstand abrasion, impact, and continuous material flow, they help extend equipment life while reducing maintenance and operational costs.

Key Benefits of Polyurethane Strips

  • Reduced Material Waste: Pre-sized strips eliminate excess scrap created when cutting large urethane sheets.
  • Lower Overall Costs: Pay only for the material you need while reducing replacement and maintenance expenses.
  • Exceptional Abrasion Resistance: Performs reliably in applications handling aggregate, grain, minerals, and other abrasive materials.
  • Impact and Shock Absorption: Protects metal surfaces from repeated impact and mechanical stress.
  • Noise and Vibration Reduction: Minimizes metal-to-metal contact, helping create quieter and smoother equipment operation.
  • Longer Service Life: Outlasts many traditional rubber or metal wear components in demanding environments.
  • Customizable Performance: Available in multiple durometers, sizes, and configurations to match application requirements.
  • Metal Bonding Options: Can be bonded directly to steel or aluminum for secure liners, bump stops, and impact panels.
  • Chemical and Moisture Resistance: Maintains performance in environments exposed to oils, water, and industrial contaminants.

What Are the Most Common Industrial Uses for Polyurethane Strips?

Our polyurethane strips are used in a wide range of industrial applications where abrasion resistance, impact protection, and durability are required.

  • Scraper Blades & Belt Wipers: Conveyor cleaners, snow plow blades, slurry seal wipers, and industrial squeegees.
  • Chute & Hopper Skirting: Seals transfer points while reducing material spillage and equipment wear.
  • Wear Liners & Impact Panels: Protects metal surfaces from abrasion and repeated impact in high-wear areas.
  • Replacement for Urethane Sheets: Pre-sized strips eliminate drop cuts and reduce material waste.
  • Direct Metal Bonded Protection: Bonded to steel or aluminum for liners, bump stops, and equipment protection.
  • Material Handling Systems: Guide rails, slide surfaces, and conveyor components exposed to constant friction.
  • Mining & Aggregate Equipment: Impact zones, screening equipment, and bulk material handling applications.
  • Manufacturing & Automation Equipment: Machine wear strips, vibration-damping components, and assembly line protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Polyurethane Strips Effective for Cushioning and Vibration Control?

Absolutely. The high elasticity of PU strips absorbs shocks and reduces vibration, protecting both equipment and surrounding structures in high-impact environments.

How Do Polyurethane (PU) Strips Differ From Standard Rubber Strips?

Polyurethane strips provide superior wear resistance, higher tear strength, and a longer service life compared to conventional rubber strips, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications.

Can Polyurethane Strips Be Customized or Machined for My Application?

Yes. Polyurethane strips can be fully customized to meet your specific application needs. They can be cut, punched, drilled, or machined to precise dimensions, durometers, and shapes, ensuring a perfect fit for your equipment, impact panels, liners, or other high-wear surfaces. Custom bonding to metal surfaces is also available for added durability and performance.

Are Polyurethane Strips Suitable for OEM Equipment Replacements?

Yes. We manufacture custom PU strips specifically designed for OEM machinery and industrial equipment, ensuring precise fit, reliable performance, and long-lasting protection.
