PU Rods
Polyurethane (PU) rods are cylindrical solid bars made from polyurethane, a durable and versatile thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer. Known for their exceptional abrasion resistance, elasticity, and toughness, PU rods are commonly used in industrial, mechanical, and engineering applications that require flexibility, durability, and high load-bearing capacity.
