There are relatively few natural and synthetic materials suitable for active use in metallurgy. Polyurethane is one of them. In certain situations, it successfully replaces rubber as well as heavy, relatively expensive metals and their alloys. Polyurethane withstands high temperatures of up to +260 °C and sharp temperature swings.

Polyurethane also retains its integrity under heavy physical and mechanical loads. Thanks to this, it is used to apply protective coatings to metal elements, to build noise-reduction systems (for example, using sheet polyurethane), and for individual components of plant machinery and other equipment. The following advantages of polyurethane are especially important for the metallurgical industry:

Polyurethane also has a certain level of resilience. As a result, products made from it withstand external loads well. Even under high pressure, polyurethane products do not deform and retain their original shape.
