Myth Busting!

Myth #9: Polyurethane Components Are Prone to Chemical Degradation

Polyurethane is a remarkable material known for its versatility and wide range of applications. However, there's been a persistent belief that polyurethane components are susceptible to chemical degradation. Let's set the record straight and explore the real science behind this myth.

Contrary to the myth, polyurethane actually boasts impressive chemical resistance. Its unique molecular structure allows it to stand up to a range of chemicals without significant degradation; however, several factors can impact its chemical resistance:

• Environmental Conditions: The environment in which your polyurethane component is used can highly impact its ability to degrade. Conditions such as extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and humidity can impact chemical resistance.
• Exposure Conditions: Not every chemical interaction with your component can harm it. Long-term exposure to concentrated chemicals might lead to minor degradation, however, it will not always compromise performance.?
• Composition of Polyurethane Used: The formulation of the polyurethane used in your component can highly impact the chemical resistance of the finished product.?

At OMNI Technologies, our design specialists consider your needs and the applications of your finished components during the design process. These needs can include the durometer of your part, the need for chemical resistance, and specific design and shaping qualities.

Together, our team can help you develop a polyurethane part that suits your manufacturing needs. Get started today and begin the OMNI design process.?
