Hot and cold elastomers offer an exceptional balance between flexibility, durability and strength. Their properties and versatility make them a very suitable material for the manufacture of magnetic parts for both the industrial and construction sectors.
Properties of elastomers
Polyurethane elastomers can be formulated to obtain different characteristics of hardness, flexibility and resistance that allow them to adapt to different shapes and required uses. This versatility makes polyurethane elastomers a perfect ally for use in magnetic parts or systems.
This is the case of our range of cold elastomers, specifically the SyntheCOLD PT-9860-95L Inc system, indicated for the manufacture of magnetic parts.

Advantages of using elastomers in magnetic parts
Magnetic parts with elastomers allow the creation of flexible, adaptable, compact and lightweight customised magnetic components, providing innovative solutions in industry. Some examples:
- Manufacture of magnetic clamping formwork systems, these systems are compact, lightweight and allow a reduction in preparation time allowing multiple uses in confined spaces.
- Magnetic repair plates to repair worn areas of chutes and hopper liners, being a quick repair system without the need to stop machines.
- Magnetic fixing bases in the furniture industry where polyurethane avoids damaging surfaces.
Thus, with elastomer magnetic parts, versatile and customised designs can be achieved, which are tailored to very specific requirements.
Characteristics of magnetic parts
Magnetic parts combined with polyurethane elastomer have different properties compared to other materials that provide additional protection to the magnet, avoiding scratches and surface damage. They are compact, light and adaptable systems, but at the same time they provide durability and resistance.
Among its features, the following stand out:
- Flexibility and adaptability: Elastomers, being highly flexible materials, allow the creation of magnetic parts adaptable to various shapes and surfaces. This is crucial in applications where material conformability is essential.
- Shrinkage resistance: Unlike other materials, elastomer-based magnetic parts exhibit significant shrinkage resistance. This attribute is key to maintaining the dimensional integrity of parts throughout their service life.
- Wide operating temperature range: elastomers used in magnetic parts typically perform over a wide temperature range, making them ideal for variable environments.
- Good chemical resistance: Many elastomers are resistant to chemicals, ensuring that magnetic parts maintain their integrity in harsh environments.
- Durability: The combination of magnetic properties and the inherent durability of elastomers provides extended life for magnetic parts, reducing the need for maintenance.
