Plastic PU

Polyurethane (PU) is one of the most versatile plastic materials. Ranging from flexible foam to solid materials, its chemistry allows PU to be adapted into specific shapes – ideal in the production of mannequins.

Advantages include:
• High load bearing capacity.
• Flexibility.
• Abrasion and impact resistant.
• Resistance to water, oil and grease.
• Short production lead times.

Like other plastics PU can be recycled in various ways to remove it from the waste system – making it highly sustainable if disposed of in a responsible way.

PU is recycled in two primary ways;
• Mechanical recycling – the material is returned to the polymer form.
• Chemical recycling – the material is returned to the various chemical constituents.

Colour can also be added to the material during production.
