suitable for different sizes of press rollers.
Polyurethane Rollers: The Advantages
Polyurethane rubbers like nitrile or neoprene are all part of elastomers. These
materials can be used as covers for rollers due to their elastic properties. There are
many advantages to polyurethane rollers over rubber rollers, and they are more
durable than other types due to their impressive mechanical properties. Here are
some benefits of using polyurethane rolling.
Product marring: Rubber can leave black marks when it comes in contact with
products. Polyurethane does not leave marks on any material, whether infused with
pigment or in its natural state.
Wet environments: Polyurethane is more effective than rubber when submerged or
exposed to wet environments for long periods. Rubber would rot.
High friction and dynamic loads can cause rollers to experience high abrasion. In
both these cases, polyurethane is superior to natural rubber.
Cost and Lead Time
The main point to remember about rubber tooling is its high price. These molds can
be compressed under high pressure, and they must withstand that pressure without
exploding. It will require weeks of work and must harden the metal.
Polyurethane can be made much faster if your rollers are processed through an open
casting process. These molds are made of aluminum and don’t require hardening.
A wide range of physical properties
Polyurethane can be tailored to any use. Polyurethane is versatile and can be
engineered with different mechanical properties.

5. Better durability
Polyurethane is versatile and has superior mechanical properties to other rubber
types. Polyurethane is a durable material, regardless of its hardness. Its inherent
toughness and resilience make the material very resilient. Polyurethane roller covers
last longer than rubber rollers.
Water and oil resistance
Polyurethane can withstand oils and water depending on the polymer system. Rollers
subject to wet service or require frequent washing must have water resistance. For
hydrocarbon-based solvents and chemicals like inks, oil resistance is necessary.
Hardness.
Hardness refers to the material’s relative resistance to surface deformation. It is
often determined by measuring the depth indentation of the material with a standard
indenter or ball.
Materials are rated according to how hard they are relative to each other.
The Shore Hardness Number determines elastomers’ hardness, and a durometer
measures this number. There are 12 Shore Hardness Scales, and each scale has its
indenter configuration, profile, and force.
Shore A and Shore D are used to measure the hardness of polyurethanes. Shore A
measures soft, semi-rigid, and semi-rigid polyurethanes. Shore D measures hard
rubbers or rigid polyurethanes. High hardness doesn’t necessarily mean high rigidity
or strength.
Abrasion Resistance
There are two types of abrasion: impingement and sliding. Slide abrasion is when a
hard material, such as ceramic or metal, rubs against a softer surface. Impingement
abrasion occurs when particles strike the surface and cause erosion.

6. Polyurethanes with low friction and high tear strength are suitable for sliding
resistance. Polyurethanes that have good resilience can be used for impingement
abrasion. Polyurethanes that are resilient can be elastic, allowing the forces of
impacting particles to be distributed onto the surface.
The suitable composition of the polyurethane rubber can provide abrasion
resistance. Polyesters are the most resistant to tear and abrasion among all polyol
compounds used in making polyurethane.
Tear strength
Tear strength refers to the rubber lining’s ability to resist applying tensile force that
tends to tear the material and spread the tears throughout the material.
The force applied to the material, and the material’s microstructure can affect the
rate at which tears are propagated. Sometimes, tear strength can be related to
abrasion resistance, and polyurethanes have excellent tear strength and abrasion
resistance.
Impact Strength.
Polyurethanes are resistant to abrasion and have excellent resilience, and they also
have good impact strength. Rollers’ polyurethane linings can elastically stretch to
absorb impact energy and return to their original form.
Fatigue Resistance
Because of its flexibility, polyurethane is very resistant to fatigue. Polyurethane can
flexibly deform in cyclic conditions and not fail to do so. It is suitable for high-speed
applications like printing and milling.

7. Low heat dissipation is a problem for polyurethanes in these environments, with
significantly thicker linings. The material can be weakened by high heat, which can
accelerate creep.
Thermal Aging Resistance
Thermal aging refers to the gradual degrading of elastomers in high temperatures
and low oxygen levels. It causes a loss in strength and elasticity, and this irreversible
process determines the material’s operating temperature limits.
When formulated with certain compounds, polyurethane has excellent thermal
resistance. Polyurethanes typically operate at temperatures between 90 and 100
degrees Celsius, and some formulations are more expensive and can reach 150°C.
Friction
The coefficient of friction (COF) for polyurethanes tends to be related to their
hardness. These properties are in an inverted relationship, and the COF is increasing
while the hardness is decreasing. The hardness of polyurethanes can also be easily
adjusted by blending to achieve the desired COF.
Machinability
The property of Machinability can be found in hard polyurethanes, and this property
allows polyurethanes can be shaped into precise geometries. It is beneficial for
polyurethane rolling wheels, as they need to be machined to achieve the desired
profile.
Chemical Resistance
Polyurethanes’ chemical resistance depends on the polyol used in their polymer
systems. Systems based on ether are more resistant to water and suitable for wet
applications. Ester-based systems, on the contrary, are more resistant to oils,
solvents, and most petroleum compounds.

8. Manufacturing Process
A simple process is required to make a polyurethane roller. It includes the
construction of the core of the roller, balancing, bonding, polyurethane blending,
bonding, building, curing, and quality testing. Similar to other types of rubber rollers,
the fabrication process is identical. The cover building is the main difference since
polyurethane resin comes in liquid form.
Processing is simple
Polyurethane processing does not require complicated or expensive equipment. The
only equipment needed for simple blending operations is a batch mixer, and no
heating equipment is necessary. It contrasts with other rubber types that require
heating and mastication equipment.
Mark products and surfaces with a pen or pencil.
Carbon black is often used as a filler or reinforcing component in rubber roller
linings. If rolled against a hard surface, they can leave unpleasant marks, especially
for applications like finished goods handling or printing. This problem is not present
in polyurethane rollers, as they don’t use carbon black.
Roller Balancing
Dynamic and static two types of imbalance can occur in a roller core. When the roller
is allowed to turn freely, static imbalance refers to the roller moving to its heavier
side.
The dynamic imbalance creates vibration or rocking motion when the roller is rotated
at its maximum speed. Dynamic imbalance is usually corrected on polyurethane
rollers.
A computer-controlled, dynamic balancing system tests the roller for dynamic
balance, and it determines where and how much counterweight is needed for proper
balance.

9. Building and bonding
Bonding refers to adhering the rubber covering to the roller core’s surface, and it is
accomplished by applying a chemical bonding agent to the roller core’s outer
surface.
Injection molding and casting are the two main methods of making polyurethane,
and both these processes use liquid resins.
Casting places the core roller into a mold where the polymer can be transferred or
poured. Casting is a cost-effective way to make polyurethane castings, and casting is
less costly than injection molding.
Injection molding is a less well-known option. Injection molding requires more
sophisticated equipment and tools to shape the rollers.
why people prefer urethane rolling to steel, rubber, and plastic ones:
They last longer: Although it varies by industry, an average rubber roller will last
around 1000 hours. Polyurethane rollers can last for approximately 4000 hours
before showing signs of age.
FDA Approves Them for Food Processing: Rubber and plastic rollers can leave marks
on food and leave a residue, and the polyurethane rollers do not leave such marks.
They reduce downtime and boost profits: Durable Urethane rollers last for many
years. They are also more productive because you don’t need to replace them often.
The Polyurethane Rollers Provide Better Traction: Although rubber is soft, it can’t grip
smoother materials such as glass and sanded wood. These objects can be grabbed
and moved much more quickly with polyurethane, mainly if it is grooved.
They are versatile: Polyurethane rollers come in various durometers, ranging from
10A to 75D. Polyurethane is adaptable to make your rollers as brutal or gel-like as a
bowling ball.
