PLEI-TECH® 00

Plei-Tech 00 is a polyester compound developed in conjunction with Plei-Tech 22 to offer alternatives to Plei-Tech 15. Plei-Tech 00 offers outstanding tear strength, good abrasion resistance, excellent resistance to oil products, and is suited for moderate dynamic loading. Plei-Tech 00 is available in 80°A to 95°A. PleiTech 00 falls short of Plei-Tech 22, Plei-Tech 23, Plei-Tech 24, Plei-Tech 25 and Plei-Tech 15 in solvent resistance. Maximum service temperature is 200°F. Standard Color is amber, however this product is not color stable.

PLEI-TECH® 10

Plei-Tech 10 is a very high performance polyurethane that is best suited for the most demanding applications. Plei-Tech 10 offers outstanding cut, abrasion, and solvent resistance. In addition to exceptional physical properties Plei-Tech 10 also offers excellent dynamic properties. The one setback of the material is that it takes a high compression set. Plei-Tech 10 is available in 80°A, 90°A, 93°, and 97°A hardnesses. Maximum service temperature is 275°F. Only available in natural color (cream). Typical applications are bumpers, diaphragms, rollers, and hydrocyclones. (back to top)
