ANCILLARY
A “one stop shop” for polyurethanes product category.
Products include:
Release agents – Used for applying onto mould surfaces before our polyurethane is applied. This helps the cured polyurethane part release from the mould.
Primers – Often referred to as “bonding agents” these materials are applied onto typical surfaces such as metal and concrete to help with the adhesion of polyurethane elastomers.
Pigments – Various colours used to pigment elastomers, foams and coatings.
Plasticizers – Used for softening polyurethane elastomers to lower durometer hardness.
Cleaning solvents – Used for general workspace cleanup of polyurethane resins. Can also be used for cleaning dispensing machine parts and flushing dispensing machine hoses and pumps.
PIGMENTS
Range of pigments to colour our elastomers, foams and coatings
The types of pigments are categorised as in the below data
RELEASE AGENTS
Range of release agents
Era Polymers has a comprehensive range of release agents for aiding the removal of the cured polyurethane part from the mould.
Different polyurethanes tend to require different mould release agents. Most polyurethane foams require wax based mould release agents, whereas polyurethane elastomers use silicone based release agents.
Mould release agents can be applied by various methods, including spraying, wiping or brushing.
If spraying we recommend and stock the SURE SHOT MODEL A 6200 SPRAYER.
PRIMERS
Please call Era staff for assistance
The use of a primer, applied with care to a substrate, can ensure adhesion when the liquid polyurethane is applied.
The materials are usually applied as thin films as per the technical data sheet (TDS) recommendations.
Era Polymers has a full range of primers to be able to firmly secure polyurethane to most substrates.
Some primers are very specific so discussion with Era Sales staff is advised.
CLEANING SOLVENTS
Cleaning and Maintenance Products
Era Polymers is a one-stop shop and at the end of the day certain products are required for the cleaning and maintenance of the polyurethane dispensing equipment, moulds and general equipment.
We stock a full range of greases, oils and cleaning products, please contact us for details.
Some of the cleaning agents available include the below:
PLASTICIZERS
Consult an Era Sales person for information
Era Polymers also offers plasticizers.
These are inert high boiling point solvents for a variety of uses.
They can be incorporated into some of the Erapol range (such as Erapol RN3038) resulting in a lower hardness in the polyurethane polymers.
However, plasticizers also reduce the physical properties, so consult an Era sales person for information.
Our main plasticizer is called SANTICIZER 160.
