Polymer resins
PP, HDPE and ABS pellets feed molding, not a finished wear plate. Do not send a melt-flow brief when the receiving plant asked for polyurethane sheet.
- PP / HDPE / ABS / PA
- MFI belongs on a resin RFQ
polyurethane sheet
Polyurethane Sheet Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner for US plant buyers who need polyurethane sheet as cast or extruded plate — wear pads, scrapers and impact liners — not spray foam. Share Shore A, thickness, sheet size, quantity and destination so factories can return wholesale quotes on the same line.
What separates polyurethane sheet from neighbouring families
This home line is polyurethane sheet. Neighbouring families can sit on the same drawing package, but they are not this request. The buyer still decides Shore A, thickness and the document set; this desk does not reprint a hardness or density figure as its own rating.
Elastomers and rubber
EPDM, NBR and silicone sheet share Shore A language. They do not share tear, abrasion or hydrolysis behaviour with polyurethane sheet.
- EPDM / NBR / silicone
- Ask Shore A, not Shore D, on this family
Packaging films
PET film and TPU film are gauge-in-micron products. A polyurethane sheet roll on this site is still a plate or coil of sheet, not a packaging web.
- PET / PE film
- Micron is the wrong unit here
Pneumatic / hydraulic
Hose jackets and seals may use polyurethane, but working pressure in psi is not a sheet-thickness substitute.
- Hose / seal / bushing
- Keep ID/OD off a plate RFQ
What a complete polyurethane sheet request still leaves to the buyer
Factories can quote after the axes below are written. Missing axes become the supplier’s silent default. Polyurethane Sheet Sourcing does not fill them.
| Field | How to write it | Buyer decision |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | Inches or millimetres on the priced line | The buyer names the gauge; this desk does not pick “standard” |
| Width and sheet size | Finished L × W, or coil width if a roll is intended | Cut-to-size versus stock blank stays the buyer’s call |
| Density | g/cc only if the factory uses it to split grade | Leave blank unless the drawing already uses it |
| Field | How to write it | Buyer decision |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | Shore A for this family; do not mix in Shore D | The receiving plant owns the target durometer |
| Ester or ether | Name the chemistry if hydrolysis or oil is on the duty | Substitution is a new request, not a courtesy upgrade |
| Color / finish | Natural, black, red or a named color chip | Cosmetic match is confirmed on a sample lot |
| Ask | What it covers | What it is not |
|---|---|---|
| Named ASTM method | Hardness, tensile strength (MPa or psi) or abrasion as run | A plant brochure |
| Dimensional page | Thickness and sheet size of the quoted item | A family catalogue spread |
| Regulatory file | REACH, RoHS or FDA 21 CFR 177 only when the duty needs it | A company certificate used as a product stand-in |
Six checks before a factory can answer a polyurethane sheet brief
Name the form
Standard-size, cut-to-size, colored, UV-stabilized or thicker-gauge. Five labels, not five stocked SKUs.
Write Shore A
Durometer stays on Shore A for this elastomer plate. A Shore D figure belongs on a different request.
Pair thickness and size
Inches or millimetres travel with width and sheet size. A roll width is written only when a coil is intended.
Keep foam out
Cast or extruded polyurethane sheet is in scope. Spray-foam or field-pour construction is not.
Attach a file ask
Name the ASTM method, dimensional page or declaration that must travel with the lot.
Quantity and destination
Count against each configuration. State the US state or postal code and the delivery window.
Files we ask factories to attach
REACH, RoHS, FDA 21 CFR 177, ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and UL 94 names below are request labels. They are not badges this desk wears. A file counts only when it names the quoted polyurethane sheet grade and lot.
Open Spec CheckREACH
SVHC statement on the quoted compound if the receiving plant asked for it.
RoHS
Restriction statement for the quoted sheet, not a trading-company letter.
FDA 21 CFR 177
Only when food-contact is on the duty and the grade is named.
ISO 9001
Plant system file if requested; it is not a sheet certificate.
IATF 16949
Ask only when the automotive PPAP package requires a plant file.
UL 94
Flame rating belongs on the quoted thickness, not on a family brochure.
Where polyurethane sheet usually enters a plant brief
Wear pads
Scrapers
Impact liners
OEM kit blanks
Procurement scenario, not a customer testimonial: a materials manager sends Shore A, 12 mm thickness, 48 × 96 in blanks, black finish and a named ASTM hardness method, then asks two factories to price the same pallet count to the same US destination. The cheaper unit on a different Incoterm is a different deal.
Send the polyurethane sheet axes you already have
We will issue the same list to more than one factory. Missing fields stay visible. We do not publish a price list or a market-beating percentage.
