Superior cost advantage and performance has led to many instances of replacing metal, rubber, wood and plastic with polyurethane elastomers. Some applications are shown in the following table.
| Industry | Application |
|---|---|
| Automotive | Engine mounts, bearings, bushes, flexible couplings. |
| Building & Constructions | Moulds for concrete, gate seals, concrete pump ports. |
| Electrical | Encapsulation, insulation, potting, cable joining. |
| Engineered components | Gears, sprockets, wire guides, rail draft gear, stripper plates, press brake pads, textile yarn guides, cutting boards, business machine belts, couplings, sound deadening, anti-vibration. |
| Food | Chute lining, grain buckets. |
| Mining | Bucket liners, conveyor rollers, scraper blades, floatation cell impellers, pump linings, grading screens, lined pipes, cross-over pads. |
| Oil, Chemical and Marine | Bushings, bearings, hydrocyclones, engine mounts and couplings, pipeline pigs and scrapers, fenders, valve seats. |
| Rollers | Board rollers, nip rollers, metal forming, woodworking, printing, conveyor, can coating, paper mill. |
| Seals and Gaskets | Pneumatic and oil seals, diaphragms. |
| Wheel and Tyres | Fork-lift tyres, heavy duty castor wheels, escalator wheels, roller skate wheels, roller blade wheels. |
