Millathane® UV

1 of 18 products in this brand
Millathane® UV is an ultra-violet curable millable polyurethane compound typically used with Millathane® 97, but other Grades can be used as well. Millable polyurethane extrusions can be continuously cured and products molded using UV light without the use of ovens, microwaves or salt bath units. (Patent Pending) These curable compounds can be extruded or calendered onto fabric or as an unsupported sheet and then continuously cured by passing them through a UV-curing conveyor belt chamber. Molded parts can be press-cured using special transparent molds to allow curing with UV light, or can be cured in a UV chamber. Time of irradiation varies with the nature and type of material, the type and concentration of other ingredients, and the type and power of the light source. They are great for extruding hollow tubing and other continuous shapes, such as bars, rods, L-channels, U-channels, square tubing, and the like. It’s great for extruded protective covering over all types of cables, hoses, and protective conduit.

Technical Details & Test Data

Abrasion Resistance
  • Abrasion resistance is the ability of a surface to resist wearing due to contact with another surface moving with respect to it.
  • High resistance to abrasion is important in applications like rollers, belting, and helicopter dust covers.
  • The DIN Abrasion Test (ASTM D5963) is one of the most common tests for measuring abrasion resistance.
  • It's where a rotating cylindrical sample is passed across a rotating drum of abrasive and the amount of sample volume lost is measured.
  • Typical abrasion resistance values for Millathane millable urethane compounds is 50-80 mm³.
  • Some compounds can have abrasion resistance values as low as 25 mm³, depending on the polymer, cure system, and formulation.
  • Polyurethane rubber provides the highest abrasion resistance of any rubber, synthetic or natural.
  • Laboratory tests do not always predict the advantage of Millathane compounds over other rubbers, but field experience often shows a tremendous improvement in product lifetime when millable urethane replaces conventional rubber.
