We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Polyurethane",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Blast cabinet designed for medical products from
Guyson International, which we summarised at the time by saying "A stainless steel blast cabinet has been engineered for medical product manufacturers, where the introduction of ferrous contamination would be detrimental to production".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Vertical machining centres cut patterns from
Haas Automation: "Producer of low volume reaction injection moulded parts and polyurethane castings uses five vertical machining centres to cut master pattern equipment from polyurethane tooling board".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Aetna UK
concerning its Robopac Spiror 400 HP at Smart System
- take a look at Spiral wrapping machines prove reliability
which says: "As a company's two existing spiral wrapping machines had proven to be extremely reliable, fast, safe and perfect for spiral wrapping, an aluminium extrusions supplier saw no need to change supplier".
Take a look also at the news release from Wesley International, Pallet truck is economical, strong,
as well as Adhesive bonding systems experience offered from Bead Technologies,
and Wheel shot blast plant completes over 27,000h from Wheelabrator Group.
