- In major industrial polymers: Polyurethane elastomers
This technology, known as reaction injection molding, accounts for much of the production of thermosetting elastomers made from polyurethane. Polyurethane elastomers are made into automobile parts, industrial rollers, flexible molds, forklift tires, roller-skate and skateboard wheels, medical equipment, and shoe soles.
