P101

P101 is a newly developed high performance polyurethane elastomer (H-Polyurethane) composed of prepolymers based on polyoxytetramethylene glycol (POTMG) and diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) processed liquid with triols, katalysts and several chain extenders.

Producing a hardness of 95 +/-2 Shore A. P101 was developed by leading polyurethane manufacturers to meet and exceed the current sealing materials available.  It is especially resistant to abrasion, hydrolysis and micro-organisms and has an outstanding elongation at break of more than 550% and a tear strength of 130N/mm, which exceeds competitor materials by 30% to 85%. Test results also confirm that P101 exhibits better high and low temperature performance than competitors' material.

These outstanding engineering properties make P101 the top performer in the industry. It is recommended for use in water hydraulics, mining, industrial hydraulics, heavy duty high pressure hydraulics and general sealing applications. It is resistant to mineral oil based fluids, biodegradable, water-based and many other industrial hydraulic fluids. The most common products made from P101 are lip seals, compact rod and piston seals, wipers, chevron packings and special seals for applications where improved performance and service life is important.

Temperature Range: -22°F to 230°F (-30°C to 110°C)
