When safety and compliance are critical, PSI Urethanes delivers metal-detectable polyurethane solutions that help prevent contamination and protect both equipment and end-users. By incorporating a specialized detectable additive, our urethane products can be identified by metal detectors or X-ray inspection systems if they ever fragment during use.
This proactive safeguard reduces costly recalls, ensures compliance with food safety standards, protects your brand reputation, and supports efficient, uninterrupted production across demanding food processing and industrial environments.
Conventional seals, gaskets, or plastic components can chip, crack, or break without detection, putting production lines and food integrity at risk. PSI’s (typically blue) metal-detectable polyurethane is engineered with FDA-compliant formulations that combine the strength, toughness, and versatility of cast urethane with the added advantage of traceability.
Applications range from conveyor belts, rollers, scrapers, and protective covers in food processing to safety-critical seals and liners in industrial environments. Whether you need metal detectable seals for machinery or metal detectable gaskets for fluid control, PSI ensures every component meets the highest standards of reliability and safety.
For over 50 years, PSI has been a trusted leader in custom urethane casting. Our in-house mold shop, engineering team, and extensive material expertise allow us to deliver quick-turn prototypes and full-scale production. With durometers ranging from ultra-soft to extremely rigid, we design solutions for diverse industries:
Our ability to incorporate detectable additives into a wide range of urethane formulations helps you achieve compliance without compromising performance. Every project is carefully engineered to match your operating environment, giving you confidence that your urethane parts will perform under pressure, withstand cleaning chemicals, and maintain reliable service life.
By partnering with PSI Urethanes, you gain not only advanced materials but also responsive technical support, fast lead times, and the assurance of working with a world leader in urethane manufacturing.
