At Plasticcraft, urethane products are produced to order. The bulk of our production is to the industry as a parts supplier, but we also produce our own products, and are willing to take on new business dealing in small quantities. Toll Manufacture We have capacity to manufacture your polyurethane product. We offer speedy service, and the flexibility to produce anything from a single component to thousands. We can help you take your design from the idea stage, through prototyping, and onto quantity production. We offer a wide range of formulations to meet your physical requirements, and the ability to manufacture parts of all shapes and sizes. Casting Polyurethane Because the cast urethane is a liquid, we can gravity-fill moulds with little or no pressure. This type of tooling is generally less expensive - great for prototyping and short- to medium-production runs. Complex shapes can be cast using sprues and risers in a similar way to sand casting metals. The mould design will be limited by the viscosity of the material, similar to warm honey, so sprues are large compared with injection moulding. Incorporation of Metal Parts We can mould to metal parts such as bearings, wheels, rollers, metal plates, and shafts. Metal or plastic inserts, threads, nuts or reinforcement can be primed with a bonding agent and incorporated into your mouldings. Copolymer Moulding We can mould layered materials, such as contrast colours for wear indicators, or different hardness for a combination of properties. Machining and Finishing We can conduct basic machining or milling of finished product where a machined finish is necessary for cosmetic reasons or for dimensional tolerances. Clear Parts We can mould bubble free clear parts such as sight glasses and badges. We can provide a wide range of durometers: From 45 Shore "A" (soft) to 75 Shore "D" (hard). We can use a variety of pigments to produce a broad range of colours. Plasticcraft can strip and recoat worn parts, bond to metal, machine to tight tolerances, work from existing tooling, and assist in the designing of custom parts.
