Diepothan

Manufacture and Properties

Diepothan‚ (registered trademark of P+S Polyurethane-Elastomer GmbH & Co. KG) is a polyester based polyurethane elastomer. Diepothan‚ excells due to a combination of outstanding physical and chemical properties. Diepothan‚ behaves well under mechanical stress and is particularly suited for application where a low hardness and a high degree of elasticity is required. Diepothan‚ castings are to be found in many areas of mechanical engineering i.e.

• paper machinery
  
• printing machineryschinen
  
• agricultural machinery
  
• production lines and conveyor belts

Typical Diepothan‚ castings include:

• gaskets
  
• wipers, scrapers and strippers
  
• metering bar holders
  
• cutting sticks
  
• clutch components
  
• membranes
  
• rollers
  
• coatings
  
• pressure rollers
  
• spring and dampening components.

Advantages

Some of the main advantages include:

• Shore A hardness 55° - 95°
  
• high elasticity
  
• free from plasticisers
  
• can be subjected to high loads and stresses
  
• good resistance against oil, grease and petrol
  
• good resistance against ozone, UV and other energy laden rays
  
• also suitable for continuos service operation at high temperatures.
