PROPERTIES OF POLYURETHANE: Polyurethanes can be either thermoplastics or thermosetting. Polyurethane can be cast and injection moulded, as it is a resin. It is long lasting and out performs many other materials in harsh environments. It performs well in high temperatures, although can be damaged / attacked by most solvents. It has low heat transfer / conductivity, consequently a good insulator. Polyurethane has high resistance to abrasion. It can be manufactured in a range of colours.

PROPERTIES OF FOAM RUBBER: Foam Rubber is lightweight and flexible. It can be manufactured as a very light foam ideal of cushions or as a dense rigid material ideal for the trays. It is used to manufacture a range of comfy and rigid products. It resists impacts and is often used as protective packaging inserts. An excellent acoustic insulator, as it absorbs sound. It resists temperatures of up to 200 degrees and consequently can be used to reduce sound from car engines. It performs well in high temperatures, although can be damaged / attacked by most solvents. It has low heat transfer / conductivity, consequently a good insulator.
