Tapco-thane is a polyurethane elastomer designed for applications requiring exceptional abrasion
resistance. Tapco-thane is molded into sheet form used in material handling. Tapco-thane is
recommended for use in grain handling, mining parts, gravel and wood chip applications.
Hardness:
80-90 Shore A durometer.
Other durometers available.
Temperature:
-60°F to +212°F/-51°C to +100°C.
Flammability Characteristics:
Flash Point: None
Melting Point: 400°F/204°C
Decomposition Temperature: 480°F/249°C
ASTM D635 (horizontal burn): Does not support combustion after removal of flame source.
Chemical Properties:
Corrosion Resistance: Excellent
Resistance to mild acids: Excellent
Resistance to bases: Excellent
Resistance to Aliphatic Hydrocarbons: Excellent
Standard (blue) Tapco-thane, is not recommended for use in prolonged exposure to steam, aromatic
hydrocarbons, ketones, strong acids, or bases. We suggest using Hi-Rebound (black) Tapco-thane in
these applications.
FDA Compliance:
All Tapco-thane meets FDA criteria for dry food contact. Tapco-thane is not recommended for
continuous use in food handling at temperatures exceeding 180 0 F/820C.
