Millathane® Formulary and Grades
Millathane® millable polyurethane rubber comes in a number of Polyester and Polyether grades and subsequent formulary setups.
- Polyether grades have better water and hydrolysis resistance than polyester grades.
- Polyester grades have better heat, oil and compression set resistance than polyether grades.
- Most Millathane grades are available in a range of viscosities and can be packaged as dense bales or premilled sheets.

Millathane® 76 is a polyester millable urethane having improved processing properties over a wide Mooney viscosity range. It has excellent damping properties that are useful in vibration control for automotive applications. O-rings, seals, and gaskets are often made from this compound because of its excellent oil and fuel resistance. It is comparable to nitrile in oil and fuel resistance but has better low-temperature properties and excellent ozone resistance.
Millathane® 76 can be used to replace conventional elastomers like natural rubber, nitrile, and EPDM. It possesses excellent abrasion resistance combined with toughness, low-temperature flexibility, ozone resistance, good damping, high tear strength, and good stress relaxation properties. It is a suitable choice in applications such as bushings, small copier rolls and bumpers, o-rings, hydraulic seals, belts, and solid tires.

Millathane® UV
Millathane® UV is an ultra-violet curable millable polyurethane compound typically used with Millathane® 97, but other Grades can be used as well. Millable polyurethane extrusions can be continuously cured and products molded using UV light without the use of ovens, microwaves or salt bath units. (Patent Pending) These curable compounds can be extruded or calendered onto fabric or as an unsupported sheet and then continuously cured by passing them through a UV-curing conveyor belt chamber. Molded parts can be press-cured using special transparent molds to allow curing with UV light, or can be cured in a UV chamber. Time of irradiation varies with the nature and type of material, the type and concentration of other ingredients, and the type and power of the light source. They are great for extruding hollow tubing and other continuous shapes, such as bars, rods, L-channels, U-channels, square tubing, and the like. It’s great for extruded protective covering over all types of cables, hoses, and protective conduit. Contact us for more information if you are interested in using this alternative curing system.
