Why Spun Cast Urethane?
The Urethane sheet for FARON squeegee blades is manufactured using a high speed centrifuge process. Spun cast urethane is a high speed centrifuge process. Spun Cast urethane is a unique elastomeric material that bridges the gap between highly extensible rubber elastomers and low elongation rigid plastics. Although relatively light in weight, products made from spun cast urethane exhibit high mechanical toughness and chemical resistance compared to other rubber and plastic materials. The first process in the manufacture of urethane sheet for FARON high performance Squeegee is the metering, mixing and de-gassing of the base polymers. The precisely controlled within the spin casting process ensures inclusion free urethane with enhanced clarity and superior dimensional stability. Advantages of FARON Squeegee Blades exhibit minimal swelling whilst maintaining hardness, resilience and abrasion resistance throughout life. The special cutting process and the vision inspection control also mean
