Polyurethane L998-X

Coating in L998-X polyurethane for extreme applications

For decades, EXSTO ITALIA has been a key player in the polyurethane coating of custom industrial wheels for demanding applications.

As everybody knows, EXSTO ITALIA has been a pioneer in Italy thanks to the licence to cast Vulkollan®, obtained from Bayer Covestro in the Nineties. Since then, the expertise of casting high-perfomance wheels has consolidated over time.

Today, EXSTO ITALIA is able to offer a variety of polyurethane systems to coat industrial wheels and rollers, and to suggest the best solution for any special applications.

In particular, EXSTO ITALIA is proud to propose a material with unmatched features, that make it undoubtedly the best choice for extreme applications, high speed and hydrolysis resistance. We are talking about L998-X.

In what conditions is L998-X the best choice?

The use of this innovative polyurethane system is strongly suggested for:

– Extremely heavy loads;
– High speed (ex. roller coasters, amusement rides)
– High frequency of mechanical stress
– High resistance to hydrolisis and wear
– High temperatures (from -35°C to +90°C.)

EXSTO ITALIA casts L998-X polyurethane in hardness 98 Sh°A: this hardness, compared to the standard 92 Sh°A of other polyurethanes, guarantees an improved dimensional stability.

L998-X is one of the best polyurethane systems on the market: its structure and hardness make it both resilient and elastic.
