Norse Precision Castings, Polyurethane
To complement our aluminium foundry we also cast polyurethane.
The processes employ techniques very similar to sand casting, particularly the pivotal role of accurate moulds. Like aluminium, the high fluidity of rigid polyurethane at moulding, means an ability to form accurate parts, with shallow recesses, deep wells and slots and with low warp characteristics.
Techniques at Norse Precision Castings allow wall thickness from 1mm to 30mm with tolerances as low as ±0.3mm and excellent machinability enables the finished part to be offered with even tighter tolerances. Strengthening ribs may be added easily in recognised areas of stress, giving the designer the luxury of putting material only where it is needed. Hidden benefits emerge however with its ability to be moulded cold.
