Cast Urethane Rods
Custom Abrasion Resistant Polyurethane Rods
With a long history of outstanding quality, superior product performance, and excellent customer service, PSI is a trusted provider of custom urethane rods and urethane rod stock.
Urethane rods offer several important benefits due to their elastomeric properties. PSI’s urethane rods are made of tough, crack-resistant, and abrasion-resistant polyurethane, which lasts significantly longer than conventional rubbers and plastics. We provide custom diameters, lengths, hardness, and colors with little or no tooling costs.
By producing our products in custom sizes, PSI eliminates waste from drop-offs, saving costs for the customer.

Durometer Hardness
- .375 OD and >: 20 Shore A to 90 Shore A
- .500 OD and >: 50 shore D to 75 Shore D
- **Special Note about 60D & 70D material - Rods could contain some internal bubbles, due to the material setting up quickly**
Polyurethane Durometer Reference Calculator
The easiest way to understand different urethane measurements is by applying them to things that you are already familiar with. That’s why we’ve put together this polyurethane durometer reference calculator, which gives you everyday items that correspond to different Shore Hardness measurements. Give it a try!
