Our price is for the total amount of pieces your entire order needs to be cut into:
For Example
- Buy 1 sheet/rod and have it cut into 15 pieces = £10
- Buy 3 sheets/rods and have each one cut into say 5 pieces (total = 15 pieces) = £10
What to do:
- Click the "Cutting" tab in our menu to visit the cutting section (if you're not already there)
- Click the "Buy Now" button of whichever quantity corresponds to your needs
- See bottom of this page, on how to advise your sizes and any notes
Want more than 300 pieces?
Please give our sales team a call on 0114 2560889
Notes/tips:
- Please allow at least 4mm in your cutting allowance calculations for the width of the saw cut
- We use table saws and horizontal band-saws, so edges will have a sawn finish
- We only use sawing equipment, so we are unable to offer high precision items
- Tolerances are +2mm to minus 0mm
- We aim to cut as squarely as possible although incoming materials are sometimes out of square
- We are unable to cut or machine shapes but we are happy to obtain a custom quotation for machined
shapes or parts (please call us on 0114 2560889)
How to advise your sizes:
- Please checkout your basket/cart
- Fill in your details as usual on the checkout page

Polyurethane rod has a pretty good temp range from -32◦ C to 82◦ C. It provides superior sound dampening properties in relation to rubber, plastics and metals and is also great for electrical insulating properties.
Excellent abrasion resistance
Outstanding low-temperature performance
Excellent mechanical properties, combined with a rubber-like elasticity
High shear strength
High elasticity
High resistance to sunlight and weather conditions

Applications include automotive suspension bushings, gaskets, seals, castors, wheels, bearing seals, valve inserts, shock absorbers, noise dampers as well as roller coaster and escalator wheels. It is also used as a wear strip on snow ploughs as well as pulleys on fishing trawlers.
Polyurethane rod is known as a thermo set type engineering plastic. This means that it cannot be re-heated and re-formed like some other engineering plastics.
Polyurethane rods are a versatile product well suited for low volume products such as bump stops and bushings. It’s very often used as a replacement for rubber components which degrade over time and will provide an obvious upgrade in performance over the traditional material. Polyurethane has a much greater resistance to wear and can out last some traditional materials by as much as four times.
Polyurethane will easily outperform rubber, which will often permanently deform much sooner, resulting in the item completely failing causing damage or wear in associated components. It has high resistance to aging or perishing and is also much more resistant to cutting with sharp edges and is also much more impact resistant.

Polyurethanes are generally not recommended for use in continuous hot water applications over 70◦ C.
It’s pretty difficult to machine polyurethane to the very fine tolerances possible with other plastics; you will also need razor sharp high speed steel cutters (not carbide) and that is for 90-95A shore hardness, anything softer can be almost impossible unless you go to the extent of freezing the material.
With reasonable preparation it will Bond to metals and most plastics
Polyurethane may be used as the surface layer in conveyor belts and in hose and tubing for conveying certain liquids.
Where severe wear is a problem ie on the base of snow plows or vehicle suspension bushes, polyurethane often outperforms rubber, plastics, and metals. In many applications, this abrasion resistance allows users to fabricate polyurethane products with less material than other materials would require.
Oil, grease and solvent resistant.
Of all elastomers, polyurethanes have the best resistance to gamma-ray radiation.
We stock Red 90 shore hardness in diameters: 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 38mm, 45mm, 50mm, and 63mm but other colours and shapes as well as different shore harnesses are easily available from our sales team.
Polyurethane rod is a thermo set plastic that, when formed, tends to retain its shape, flexibility and resilience under stress, tension or compression. With the ability to be formed into practically any shape, size, and hardness, polyurethane is extremely versatile. It has better abrasion, ageing and tear resistance than rubber, while offering higher load bearing capacity without the deformation issues. Compared to other plastics, polyurethane offers superior impact resistance, while offering excellent wear properties and elastic memory.
