Polyurethane Flexible Connectors

Polyurethane is a versatile polymer renowned for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion and weathering, we leverage these properties to manufacture various products, including PU-ATEX, our ATEX-rated polyurethane, alongside connectors, sleeves, chutes, flanged connections, and convoluted bellows. Our extensive expertise and in-house manufacturing capabilities ensure each product meets the highest quality and performance standards.

Versatility and Flexibility of Polyurethane

One of the standout features of polyurethane (PU) is its inherent flexibility. PU-ATEX is particularly suitable for applications that require movement, vibration absorption, or connection flexibility in hazardous environments. Flexible connections made from PU can significantly help prevent damage to both the connectors and the surrounding components, thereby extending the lifespan of the entire system, especially in ATEX-rated zones where safety is critical.

Custom Manufacturing to Meet Specific Requirements

At Flexible Connections Ltd, we pride ourselves on customizing products to meet specific customer requirements. Every item is manufactured in-house to the unique needs of our clients, ensuring strict quality control and the ability to tailor each product. With PU-ATEX, we offer a safe and compliant solution for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. All our PU products are FDA-approved and UK-manufactured, guaranteeing compliance with stringent health and safety standards.

Benefits of Polyurethane in Flexible Connections

Polyurethane’s properties offer several advantages in flexible connections:

• Durability and Wear Resistance: PU is a highly durable material with excellent wear resistance, making it well-suited for applications involving frequent movement, abrasion, or exposure to harsh conditions, whether it’s polyurethane sleeves or PU-ATEX connectors for explosive environments.
• Noise Reduction: Polyurethane can absorb vibrations and impacts, reducing noise in specific applications, ideal for environments where noise minimization is crucial.
• Lightweight: Polyurethane is lightweight, making it easier to handle and install, reducing labor costs and improving efficiency, especially in load-sensitive or hazardous environments.

Polyurethane for ATEX Environments

For ATEX environments, where safety is a critical concern, we stock clear PU-ATEX rated polyurethane in 0.35mm and 1mm thicknesses. Our anti-static polyurethane material has been tested in accordance with EN 60079-0:2017 clause 26:13, ensuring it is dissipative and suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. However, we always advise seeking independent expert advice to confirm the suitability of our materials for your specific application, given the varying conditions and requirements of different environments.

Solutions for Pressure or Vacuum Applications

We offer bespoke conical and offset branch pieces with stainless steel rings in pressure or vacuum applications. These products handle the stresses associated with pressure or vacuum environments, maintaining their integrity and performance. Our PU-ATEX range, with added anti-static properties, ensures safety and reliability under demanding conditions.

At Flexible Connections Ltd, we are dedicated to providing tailored solutions, including PU-ATEX rated products, that ensure safety, compliance, and performance in hazardous environments. Contact us today to discuss your requirements!
