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.
