Precision Urethane Sheets & Sheeting
Precision Cast Sheeting
Urethane is the preferred material for parts that need to perform reliably and endure intense applications. Overall, urethane is tough and versatile, with properties that deliver high cut resistance, low compression set, superior elongation, and tensile strength.
Precision Cast Urethane Sheets are available in various forms and are suitable for numerous uses.
- Custom formulations to accentuate your particular physical property specifications.
- Larger sized sheets can be custom manufactured and maintain tight tolerances when seamed together.
- Cast Urethane sheets can be produced without mold release on one side or both sides. This is necessary if you are adhering the material to a substrate or applying a PSA backing.
Precision Urethane Sheets & Sheeting Specs
Durometer hardness
Precision cast urethane sheets are available in 20 Shore A to 50 Shore D durometers for any thickness between .010″ to .375″ thick. In 60 Shore D to 70 Shore D durometers, thicknesses are available between .010″ to .125″ thick. If your application requires 25, 40, 50 or 70 Shore OO, we can manufacture thicknesses of .063” to .250”.
From 25 Shore OO – 70 Shore OO, 20A to 95A, 50D – 70D
Here is a list of our standard durometer specifications and our technical brief, to assist you with choosing the correct material.

Thickness And Tolerance
The thickness of a cast sheet of urethane produced by PSI can be adjusted to meet your thickness requirements ranging from .005″ to .375″. Sheets with a thickness of .005″ to .125″ have a standard tolerance of ±.005″. Sheets with a thickness of .188″ to .375″, have a standard thickness tolerance of ±.010.
Standard thickness tolerance sheets of ±.005 can be manufactured as close as ± .001 and ±.010 can be manufactured as close ±.005 upon request.
Custom Formulations
- FDA Dry available 30A to 90A

Benefits Of Precision Urethane
Many industries prefer precision urethane cutting surfaces over plastic, glass, or metal. This is due to the numerous benefits associated with them. The benefits of using urethane instead of plastic include:
- Self-Healing: Sheets made from precision urethane are self-healing and prevent working surfaces from being damaged due to cutting blade deflection. It also helps prevent a work surface from flaking or chipping.
- Food Safe: FDA-approved sheeting for both wet or dry food applications (ideal for industrial kitchens, meat packing facilities and various types of food packaging facilities).
- Abrasion and Tear Resistant: Urethane has greater abrasion and tear strength than plastic.
- Customizable: Precision urethane sheets can be manufactured in a variety of thickness tolerances, durometers, and formulations.
- Memory: Urethane can be stretched and will return to its original state, where plastic can be stretched past the point of being able to return.
- Non-brittle: Unlike Plastic, urethane is an elastomer and it will not crack under impact.

The New Standard in Tight Tolerances
In 1996, PSI dramatically improved the process by which precision cast urethane sheets are produced. Through this, we established a new industry standard in thickness tolerances. Today all of our sheets that are 1/8″ or less meet a thickness tolerance of ±.005″. When requested, PSI offers tolerances as close as ±.001″. We also offer a variety of colors, custom thickness options (.005″ to .375″) and various durometers (25 Shore OO to 70 Shore D).
