THE VERSATILITY OF POLYURETHANE IS OUR AREA OF EXPERTISE
Strength, performance, safety and adaptability: our polyurethane elastomer products are truly suitable for all industries
FIMOR POLYURETHANE manufactures standard and custom-made polyurethane sheets and stock slabs in different sizes, hardnesses, thicknesses or colors. serilor®, the company’s leading brand, offers a wide range of polyurethane sheets, including in low hardnesses and multi-layers (with up to 5 different hardnesses on the same sheet).
A wide range of semi-finished products
The manufacturing process of the FIMOR POLYURETHANE sheet ensures a perfect finish of the corners or edges allowing the finished product to meet demanding dimensional specifications. Various profiles are possible by molding or machining (e.g. anti-slip profiles). PU tubes, bars and other standard forms complete the range of semi-finished products made by our American subsidiary
Examples of use: seals and gaskets cutting, conveyor belts for mines and quarries, scrapers, industrial protective curtains, anti-slip plates, protective liners for workbenches, trucks, trailers and more!
Vibrations dampeningAcoustics
Ballasting noise barriers
Our polyurethane elastomers can dampen structure-borne vibrations far more efficiently than other materials! The reduction in the noise perceived by railway workers or residents when the ballast is dumped into the cars or dispensers is up to 32 times reduced when compared to the fall of ballast on unprotected meta! All French ballast dispensing cars are now equipped with our noise reduction kits.
Sound insulation in construction
There are many other uses in construction, including flooring sound insulation, load-bearing elements insulation, or to stair noise filtration.
It is important to choose optimal thickness-hardness ratios for our strips or sheets or shaped parts. Exposed to mechanical wear, our polyurethane elastomers stand out for their resistance!
Facilitate the moving of parts Material handling
FIMOR manufactures protective parts for material handling on production lines in the glass or metal profiling industries as well as for ship hulls, etc.
Usually in the form of U-profiles, these parts come in several combinations of dimensions, colors and hardness.
With a standard length of 2500mm, these profiles can be sized by the customer to fit the steel and aluminum racks to be protected.
Exemples:
- Glass moving racks
- Racks for aluminium profiles and panes
- Storage racks for metal parts
- Half-circle profiles
Equip and protect Equestrian applications
Polyurethane elastomer horseshoes
Polyurethane has been replacing metal horseshoes for some time in the United States and other countries. FIMOR delivers dual-hardness and two-color parts to combine long lasting comfort to horses.
Protection plates and liners
FIMOR offers polyurethane sheets for equestrian centers or private stables, as well as for specialized distributors. These protect stalls against kicks, or fit upholster trailers in various colors to reduce animal stress (sometimes associated with black rubber). Set up is one is really simple : sheets can be supplied as full sized or pre- cut. They can be riveted and used as protection in vans, or riding schools.
Tough Resistance Mining & Quarrying
Polyurethane is commonly used in environment subject to severe abrasion and/or chemical aggression.
300x300mm pavers
These parts traditionally made of rubber, are particularly fit for polyurethane- use, due to their environment and function : shocks, abrasion, dust, water, mud… Our polyurethane formulation has more than doubled the lifespan of certain wear rubber parts, for an overall better value.
Conveyor liners (belt liners)
A large proportion of these liners are currently offered in rubber, but their lifespan is 2 to 3 times shorter than low-hardness polyurethane belts for an equivalent price.
Making life easier Livestock farming applications
Squeegees for slurry scrapers and planes
This is a promising polyurethane application. Environmental constraints are many and the efficient scraping is essential for the operations.
Wear parts for agriculture and farming equipment
This is a promising polyurethane application. Environmental constraints are many and the efficient scraping is essential for the operations.
Resisting in the most severe conditions construction equipment
FIMOR manufactures unique pieces for public works for its customers:
- Snow plough blades
- Asphalt compactors squeegees
- Paver plates for compactors
Polyurethane elastomers are ideal for these applications and many others thanks to their exceptional resistance to dry or wet abrasion.
For all your industrial needs Various applications
Shutters
Our rectangular or circular sheets come with very low hardness and at least one sealing side. They are recommended in the event spill hazardous chemical spills or to protect manhole covers (or any pipe connected to the wastewater drainage network). The chemical resistance to many solvents or corrosive products of our polyurethane allows their use as stopping plugs in the chemical industry.
