Polycasa TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a brand name for TPU extruded sheets produced by Polycasa.

The sheet can be delivered in flat sheets, palletised, or alternatively in rolls, as per customers requirements. This product offers superior abrasion resistance, tear resistance and other advanced mechanical properties.

CHARACTERISTICS

• Extreme resistance to wear and tear.

• Reduction of noise.

• Repair/replacement indicator layer: (After wearing out, the black abrasion layer reveals a red indicator layer, signalling it should be repaired or replaced. This is key to preventative maintenance and allows for better production planning by avoiding unforeseen downtime, resulting in increased productivity.)

APPLICATIONS

• Conveyor belt armouring.

• Wear liners for: chutes, truck liners, cyclones, magnetic separators, cones and rotary mills.

Polycasa TPU can be installed either by mechanical fastening or by using polyurethane glue on metal, wooden or concrete surfaces.

Once bonded to a metal surface, maintenance of TPU is very simple. The damaged surface is ground out, cleaned and the new TPU patch can be bonded into the damaged area. Repair work takes less than an hour to complete and can be carried out in the absence of a clean environment. Therefore, repairs can be done underground, for example in the mine. This means machinery does not have to be brought to the surface, reducing maintenance and repair time.

Polycasa TPU is 100% recyclable, therefore all side cuts can be reused.
