X-Link Urethanes and Elastomers

Fallbrook, California. January 2016. PriPro Polymers, Inc., a leader in specialty polymers, announces the launch of X-Linked TPU’s (Cross Linked Thermo Plastic Polyurethanes) and TPE’s (Cross Linked Thermo Plastic Elastomers).  This recently patented family of X-Link TPU’s are highly resistant to abrasion, chemicals and heat, and lasts far longer than standard Polyurethanes and Elastomers.  X-Link TPU’s and TPE’s can be customized for various industrial and consumer products; current applications include agricultural heavy equipment, specialty vehicles (Omni-Directional wheels), Oil and Gas Industry specialty parts (Sucker Rod Guides and Pump Jack U-Cups), and mining screens.

“PriPro’s X-Link family of TPU’s and other polymers are a game changer for cross linked materials “, said Pijush Dewanjee (PJ), President and Chief Chemical Engineer at PriPro.  “These new lines of Thermo Cross-Linkable Polymers give the end user better mechanical properties such as abrasion resistance, heat deflection and chemical resistance with the cost cutting benefits of injection molding. Traditional Cross-Linking materials are manufactured in an open cast system requiring typically dozens of aluminum tools and lots of hands on operations.  With an X-Link injection molding operation, the production can become completely automated and without any porosity in the parts being produced,” added Dewanjee.

In addition to the many industrial applications for the X-Link TPU’s, the Action Sport Market Skateboarding segment has been receptive to products produced from X-Link Urethanes.  PriPro has developed four distinct X-Link Urethanes for Skateboarding: a 100A Durometer for Street Wheels, a harder 84B for Pro Skater Wheels, a 92A for Bowl or Pool Skating, and 80A for Soft Cruiser Wheels.   PriPro markets these wheels under its “Kontrol Wheels” division to many private label brands and these brands are gaining market share with amateur and professional skaters in the U.S., Australia, Canada, and in many parts of Europe.  The Kontrol line of X-Link Urethane wheels provide superior flat spot resistance without sacrificing the rebound needed to perform aerial skate tricks demanded by today’s action sport athletes.   

PriPro Polymers is an innovative manufacturer of specialty polymers, urethanes and other plastic products required by industry and consumer markets. Located in Fallbrook, California, PriPro incorporates cutting-edge research and development to meet the specific needs of their customers.  For more information contact Pijush (PJ) Dewanjee at (760 473 5577) or John Guard at (760 518 9422) or visit their website at:
