| As many industries operating in Wear Protection Technology
EUROGOMMA
started its history producing Rubber. In fact the excellent resilience and the handling ease of this elastomer attracted the market's trend creating several opportunities for new dynamic Companies. However the fair abrasion resistance of Rubber encouraged our team to search for new wear resistant materials owning better performances in abrasion resistance without becoming heavy and hardly handled. |
|
| Therefor at the beginning of 80s EUROGOMMA
started its collaboration with BASF chemicals in
order to manufacture Polyurethane moldings and nowadays our Market Share
is 99% constituted by Polyurethane. Our casting is largely constituted by the Elasturan 6020 system. It is a 2-component polyurethane casting elastomer, based on polyester-polyol, for machine processing. |
The 1st component is a mixture of polyols and activators, the 2nd consists of prepolymers based on MDI and containing isocyanate groups.

| Unfortunately even Polyurethane has got its Achille’ s heel.
This elastomer is not resilient and then it is not very impact resistant.
In this way EUROGOMMA revolutionized the Wear protection sector by inventing and casting an extraordinary kind of Polyurethane joining the excellent abrasion resistance of Polyurethane to the elasticity of the most flexible Rubber.The amazing technological characteristics of the 6020/SE elastomer, friendly named ‘SUPERELASTIC’ , make it suitable to any applications subjected to relevant abrasion, cutting, tearing and high drop impacts. |
