The Pacific Urethanes Capability Proposition
Polyurethanes are a remarkably versatile polymer which can range from rigid to flexible, solid to lightweight foams. Polyurethanes are all around us, playing a vital role in many industries - from ship building to footwear, construction to automotive. They appear in an astonishing variety of forms, a variety that is ever increasing.
Unrivalled insulating values, exceptional abrasion resistance, superior adhesion, high sound and energy absorption and low part weights are some of the unique properties that our customers take advantage of, when manufacturing with polyurethane systems.
The following section presents a brief summary of a range of applications and typical properties that can be achieved, with different polyurethane systems.
Single Component
Single component urethanes are widely used in the
adhesive coating and sealant industries. They offer
exceptional adhesion to a variety of substrates, good
chemical and abrasion resistance as well as being strong
and flexible. Polyurethane adhesives are used in the
rubber crumb binder; carpet underlay binder, automotive
interiors, windshield bonding and as textile laminates.
Elastomers
Elastomers are solid urethane components which offer
excellent flexibility, elasticity, chemical and abrasion
resistant properties. They can also range from very soft
(fishing lures, gel cushions), to very hard (golf ball covers,
RIM bumper bars, bone models).
Flexible Foams
Flexible foams can also range in densities similar to rigid
foams but are used for applications such as mattresses,
pillows, flexible filters, head rests, sound absorption and
shoe soles to name a few. Integral skins are a special
type of flexible foam which forms a tough elastomeric
membrane surrounding a low density foam core. These
are used applications such as steering wheels, spa head
rests, and automotive dashboards.

Rigid Foams
Rigid foams ranging from low density, suitable for
insulation application to high density, suitable for structural
components. Rigid Foams are widely accepted by industry
for their excellent insulation values and high strength to
weight properties.
Thermoplastics
Pacific Urethanes is the exclusive Australian distributor
for the Texalan™ range of thermoplastic urethane which
is excellent for producing products with high elasticity,
excellent abrasion resistance, high tensile strength,
excellent oil resistance and low temperature resistance.

Pacific Urethanes has more than 100 customers in Australia and Asia and exports to countries in the Asia Pacific region including Indonesia, Thailand, China, Vietnam and New Zealand.
Pacific Urethanes General Manager Owen Stam declared Pacific Urethanes was open for business and looked forward to serving customers, from its new operations at Malibu Circuit in Carrum Downs.

The Minister for Small Business Bruce Billson officially
opened the new manufacturing and technical facilities
at Carrum Downs on 27 November 2013.
“Small businesses are the real job creators
in our local economy and so therefore it’s pleasing
to be able to open the expansion of a world-class
business based in our own backyard,” Mr Billson said.
It was a very successful event for Pacific Urethanes
with over 70 people in attendance including customers
and suppliers.

Impianti OMS
Pacific Urethanes has been appointed the agent for
Impianti OMS in Australia and New Zealand. We are
responsible for sales of new polyurethane dispensing
machines and also carry a range of spare parts.
Impianti OMS is an Italian based company and one
of the world’s leading manufacturers of polyurethane
dispensing machines and manufacturing plants.
Impact™ Low Pressure Machines
OMS’s low pressure machines are sold under the
Impact™ trade name. They are self-contained,
simple, user friendly and low cost entry machine into
manufacturing polyurethane systems. The Impact™
range of low pressure machines efficiently and
effectively monitor and control all the variables of
polyurethane production.
Ecoplus™ High Pressure Machines
OMS’s high pressure machines are sold under the
Ecoplus™ trade name, and are the highest standard in
polyurethane dispensing equipment. These machines
also monitor and control all of the production variables
similar to the low pressure machines, however the
mixing of components is carried out by high pressure
impingement mixing.
Pentafoam™ High Pressure machines
Pentafoam™ high pressure machines are specifically
manufactured to safely handle and blend pentane
blowing agent into the rigid foam system inside sealed
cabinets with safety alarms. There is also an option to
have the pentane metered directly to the mix head.
EL/CAL Elastomer machines
The EL/CAL Elastomer machines have been specifically
designed to handle the production of high performance
cast elastomer systems, which are generally highly
viscous and need to be handled at high temperatures.
Continuous Panel Lines
OMS is the world’s largest supplier of machinery for the
manufacture of continuous panel. Their OMS Automation
division employs industry specialists who define, design
and manufacture custom made handling systems.
Impianti OMS pays particular attention to
environmental issues, technical innovation, cost effective
solutions, product quality and quality control standards.
Their product range covers both high and low pressure
machines, hydraulic presses, standard and specially
designed turn-key plants for all various applications
including domestic and industrial appliances, continuous
and discontinuous sandwich panel lines, foam block
plants, automotive, filters, elastomers and TPU.
Impianti OMS machines and plants are available in
Australia and New Zealand from Pacific
Urethanes at very competitive prices.

Ceram Polymerik Pty Ltd is an advanced technology company developing ceramifiable polymer materials for the $15 billion global passive fire protection market.
In 2013 Pacific Urethanes purchased Ceram Polymerik and is actively developing new and exciting applications for the technology.
The core technology evolved from research by the
Cooperative Research Centre for Polymers. It has
been successfully commercialised by Nexans (formerly
Olex Cables) and sold under their trade name Alsecure®
Premium Ceramifiable cable. The cable is flexible under
normal conditions but forms a protective ceramic barrier
when exposed to heat and fire. The cable is able to
conduct electricity even after two hours at 1000º C.
In a fire these innovative materials -which are able
to be used in expansion joints, fire doors and many
other applications – transform into a cohesive ceramic
structure, providing a protective barrier to the movement
of heat, smoke and toxic gases.
With more stringent fire regulations, materials
incorporating Ceram Polymerik technology are able to
replace existing fire barrier components thus providing a
safer built environment. New and safer building systems
are now possible with this new technology.
Passive fire protection systems using this breakthrough
technology offers added personal safety and a reduction
in fire damage to buildings and their contents. This allows
rescue and emergency services to undertake their work
in a more controlled environment.
Ceram Polymerik is working with passive fire protection
and building industry companies worldwide to develop
the use of this new and exciting innovative technology.
The technology is covered by a number of patents.
Ongoing research and development is being undertaken
and further patents are expected to result in new
ceramifying technology.
