Automation, Robotics and Engineering

Our polyurethane and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomers and casting machines are used across many industries to create components and technical parts for a range of applications. In manufacturing, our materials improve the performance of parts in hydraulic, robotic and conveying equipment - supporting the growth of smart factories and automation.

Automation

In state-of-the-art factories, where automated equipment is helping to accelerate production throughput, Huntsman’s elastomers are used in pneumatic, hydraulic and mechanical equipment for conveying, lifting, picking and sorting.

Robotics

Robotics are increasingly used across the world to reduce cost, improve quality, and reduce stress injury of the workforce.  Thermoplastic polyurethanes have extremely good fatigue resistance, which means they are ideally suited to activities that involve repeated movement, such as robotic arms.  They are also extremely resilient to abrasion, dragging, and oils.

Engineering

In heavy-duty, outdoor industrial equipment, our elastomers are a reliable material for use in cranes, diggers, dumper trucks, access platforms and compaction equipment. They can also be used to create dampening pads, which sit under railway tracks, to reduce noise and vibration.
