Polyurethane Hardness: How to Measure and Choose the Right Shore Rating

When selecting polyurethane for industrial parts, hardness is often one of the first properties engineers need to consider. It affects how the material performs under

TPV

TPV is a thermoplastic elastomer combining rubber elasticity with plastic processability, offering durability, flexibility, and resistance to weathering.

TPU

TPU is high wear resistance, high mechanical strength, impact resistance, bearing capacity, cold resistance, and good shock absorption.

TPE

TPE have relatively stable properties, and good temperature resistance, aging resistance, chemical resistance, and solvent resistance.

PU

Polyurethane (PU) is a technical thermoplastic. It has excellent mechanical properties, high elasticity, and moldability.

IIR

Butyl rubber (IIR) has good air tightness, excellent light aging resistance, chemical resistance, and good electrical insulation.

FKM

FKM is fluorine rubber. High abrasion resistance, good light aging resistance, ozone aging resistance, weak acid resistance, wide operating temperature range.

VMQ

Silicone also named VMQ, it has excellent electrical insulation and high stability to thermal oxidation and ozone. inertia. The mechanical strength is low.

EPDM

EPDM has excellent aging resistance, good electrical insulation, good impact elasticity, and oil resistance.

CR

CR Rubber has good heat resistance, aging resistance, cold resistance, and water resistance. However, it has poor electrical insulation.

SBR

SBR has the properties like heat esistance, aging resistance, and abrasion resistance. However, it has poor cold resistance, elasticity, and tear resistance.

NBR

NBR, also know as nitrile rubberhas excellent aging resistance, electrical insulation, impact elasticity, and oil resistance.
