Depending on the resources, time and money available to you there may be the option and advantage of making a mold in house. We have plenty of customers that choose to make molds and send them to us for us to pour our highly durable K-Prene® urethane. The foreseen advantage is complete control of the mold and overall outcome of the part being produced resulting in the potential lowered costs of engineering and manufacturing of the mold in house. Of course this can create unforeseen problems and extend the amount of time it takes to complete the mold making process if we cannot correctly pour the part or there happens to be a mistake in the mold.

Because we are a urethane and mold making manufacturer we work with businesses like you, do this every day and can design molds that we know will end up working with our manufacturing processes. The idea behind having this service under one roof is to cut down on overall costs and time that it takes to complete a finished product. We are very competitive with our rates for engineering, mold making and machining as well as the urethane itself. We have a dedicated mold room to house your molds on site and only to be used for your production needs. After all of the time spent on communication, shipping and freight charges we strongly suggest you Contact Us to discuss your application with us before deciding to build molds in house.

In the event you can manage all of the above in house under cost and are prototyping – have small production runs it could work in your advantage to make molds at your facility and we are happy to consult with you on this. Contact Us for more information or call 1-800-345-0583

We manufacture and pour blocks of urethane for a customer that will further machine them for their particular application. This photo shows that we pour these very large blocks of 90A durometer urethane on various thicknesses of plate steel. The end user will then set them in a fixture for mill machining them as well as locate and drill all of the holes for a final product. The sky is the limit for these types of applications. Higher durometer urethane is easily machined to exacting tolerances while allowing for a final product that will be durable and forgivable for your application. You can trust Acrotech Inc. to provide you with the best and most consistent urethane in the industry. Contact Us for a quote on how this service could work for you and your business.

Acrotech Inc. Supplies multiple race car teams with a little known part that helps dial in race car suspension for specific tracks and conditions. The urethane spring rubber insert. Sometimes changing out a spring in favor of height and rate can take more time than what is available.

Our urethane spring rubbers are highly customizable for many common sized springs. The durometer or hardness of the urethane will increase the spring rate a little bit (40A Durometer) or a lot (95A Durometer) effectively without swapping springs. Testing or trial and error is case by case, we recommend to start with several sets in different durometers to test for your vehicle on your track.
