COMPARISON OF MILLATHANE® MILLABLE POLYURETHANE<br />
<strong>vs</strong>.<br />
CASTABLE POLYURETHANE ROLL COMPOUNDS<br />
1. This report compares the properties of Millathane 76 and Millathane 66<br />
(polyester millable urethanes) to a castable urethane prepolymer system,<br />
over a range of hardness.<br />
2. From the enclosed data, Millathane millable urethanes have a property<br />
advantage at low hardness, while castable urethanes have an advantage at<br />
high hardness.<br />
3. <strong>Millable</strong> urethanes can be used to make excellent low durometer roll<br />
coverings. At 50 to 70 Durometer A, the tear and compression set<br />
properties of Millathane millable urethanes are superior to cast urethane.<br />
4. At 90 Durometer A, the castable urethane physical properties are much<br />
better than those of millable polyurethanes.<br />
5. The main advantage of using Millathane millable urethanes are that they<br />
can be processed on conventional rubber equipment (mills and internal<br />
mixers). Millathane millable urethane rolls can be made by injection,<br />
transfer, and compression molding techniques. Large industrial rolls can<br />
also be built via extrusion methods or strip winding of calendered stock.<br />
Millathane millable urethane is used by custom rubber roll manufacturer to<br />
make urethane rolls. This enables custom roll manufacturers to use<br />
Millathane millable urethane in markets where high performance is<br />
demanded, without purchasing expensive casting equipment.<br />
6. Data found on the following pages is based on the following polyurethane<br />
elastomers.<br />
Millathane 76 Sulfur Cured TDI/Polyester (<strong>Millable</strong> PU)<br />
Millathane 66 Peroxide Cured MDI/Polyester (<strong>Millable</strong> PU)<br />
Vibrathane 6012 MDI/Polyester/Butane diol (<strong>Castable</strong> PU)<br />
