Polyurethane
Unrivalled Strength in all Conditions
Redco™ Polyurethane is a thermoset elastomeric material possessing unprecedented physical properties, providing toughness and durability far beyond the range of most rubbers and plastics. Redco™ polyurethane combines the toughness of metal with the elasticity of rubber, allowing it to withstand the most severe abuse.
Redco™ Polyurethane is available in a broad range of hardnesses, from eraser soft to bowling ball hard. Regardless of the needs of your application, Redwood’s team of experts can mold, machine, and fabricate a wide range of parts without fillers or plasticizers. Solve your wear, noise, impact and shock frustrations with our line of Redco™ Polyurethane products.
Redco™ Polyurethane Key Information
Redco™ Polyurethane Available Grades
Redco™ Deadplate
Redco™ Deadplate is a high-performance, energy-dissipative grade of polyurethane designed to protect equipment from structural damage and reduce impact noise within your workplace. Upon impact, Redco™ Deadplate’s proprietary polyurethane material converts up to 90% of the object’s impact energy into heat that quickly dissipates through the material.

Redco™ 55A
Redco™ 55A is a pliable urethane similar to a soft rubber, but more resilient, with a balanced range of properties including excellent gripping characteristics. With its high strength and resistances to oil, impact, and abrasion, Redco™ 55A is perfect for dolly wheel tires, shock and vibration pads, and more.
Redco™ 60A
This unique formulation is stands up to abrasion and is resistant to deterioration in impingement applications. Redco™ 60A also performs well as a shock and vibration buffer while maintaining flexibility.
Redco™ Ultra 66
An engineered elastomer grade of polyurethane, Redco™ Ultra 66 is designed for applications where very soft, elastic, rubber-like properties are required in combination with a low-compression set and extreme toughness. Redco™ Ultra 66 also has outstanding solvent and oil resistance. Redco™ Ultra 66 offers strong resistances to cuts and tears, corrosion, impacts, and oil.
Redco™ 70A
Redco™ 70A offers high compression resistance and withstands heavier loads while maintaining gripping characteristics. Redco™ 70A excels when bonded to steel as an impact pad or wheel cover. is a strong, durable material with resistances to oil, abrasion, and impacts.
Redco™ 80A
The workhorse of the Redco™ Polyurethane line. More pliable than harder urethanes, Redco™ 80A possesses high shock and vibration tolerances resulting in a material that is effective in a variety of applications where overall toughness and resiliency is desired. Redco™ 80A has the most
balanced range of properties in the polyurethane family.
Redco™ 350 (85A)
Redco™ 350 (85A) is a high-performance grade of polyurethane made for applications where exceptional wear and abrasion resistance is required such as where sand, slurry, gravel, or dry-impingement is involved. Redco™ 350 is also specially formulated for use in sand & gravel and bulk material handling applications. Redco™ 350 offers resistance to impacts, weather, and cuts and tears.
Redco™ 430 (90A)
Our most commonly used material, ideal for environments where high abrasion resistance is
the primary concern. Redco™ 430 (90A) also offers superior impingement resistance. Offered in 43D or 90A durometer hardness, Redco™ 430 (90A) offers resistances to weather and cuts and tears.
Redco™ 500 (50D/95A)
An excellent shock absorber, Redco™ 500 combines the qualities of hard and softer urethanes with resistance to impact and wear. Redco™ 500 is able to provide strength and rigidity for angular profiles where softer urethanes would not hold up and it also has one of the best compression-sets for load bearing applications.
Redco™ 600 (60D)
A high-performance material for wear applications in extreme cold weather. Redco™ 600 is able to hold its form under load and stress in structural applications. A strong choice where mechanical properties are required to be coupled with urethane’s exceptional impact, wear and abrasion resistance.
Redco™ 750 (75D)
Redco™ 750 provides a long-lasting replacement for brass or bronze with molding capabilities that give precise results without machining. A proven solution for bearings, Redco ™ 750 is a superior grade of polyurethane designed for applications where durable, strong properties are required along with exceptional impact, wear and abrasion resistance.
Redco™ 750SXL
Designed for use in shock, sliding, low temperature, and gritty environments. Redco™ 750SXL has excellent self lubricating characteristics which make it ideal for applications which may experience dry running periods. Serves very well as a low-maintenance bearing solution.
