Polyurethane Manufacturing at Fife Engineering

Fife Engineering manufactures high-performance polyurethane mouldings and rollers for demanding industrial environments where durability, flexibility and long service life are essential. Polyurethane provides a tough yet resilient alternative to rubber, plastics and, in many cases, metal — making it ideal for wear-resistant and load-bearing components.

By selecting specific diisocyanates and polyols, polyurethane materials can be engineered to achieve a wide range of performance characteristics. Hardness can vary from softer than a pencil eraser to harder than nylon, allowing each component to be tailored precisely to its application.

Open-Cast Polyurethane Moulding

Open-cast polyurethane moulding allows the production of high-performance components with excellent mechanical properties and design flexibility.

This process is ideal for applications requiring:

  • High abrasion resistance
  • Strong tensile and tear strength
  • Noise and vibration dampening
  • Chemical resistance
  • Excellent load-bearing capability

In many applications, polyurethane mouldings and rollers can replace metal components, reducing weight while maintaining excellent wear performance. Certain polyurethane formulations are FDA approved for food contact, making them suitable for food processing, packaging and medical applications.
