We manufacture customised industrial products in multicomponent, vulcanised polyurethane rubber - from the customer's requirements/concept to our design department and manufacture through to the end product - all under one roof.

Vulcanised polyurethane rubber (U, AU, EU, etc.) is the collective name for tough, hard wearing, elastic materials covering the entire range of rubber-elastic hardness. This type of rubber has a special place

• within the large and multifarious group of materials known as polyurethanes

• in the field of rubber chemistry through its unique reaction pattern

• in the rubber industry through different manufacturing methods

• as a result of more technical applications/areas of use than any other sort of rubber or plastic

• because it can be manufactured in all hardnesses without softening agents or other fillers

• because of unique interactions between typical properties, including great hardness/load-bearing capacity, durability and high tensile stress in the event of high tensile strain

• as a result of having more mechanical processing possibilities than any other type of rubber

These web pages are published by ELASTOLAN AB, which manufactures, produces, adjusts, sells and - in collaboration with its customers - develops, designs and sketches URETHANE rubber products (solid rubber and rubber/metal bonds) and the requisite moulds.

Who are Elastolan AB and how do they work?
ELASTOLAN AB is an independent Swedish joint-stock company with its headquarters in Tierp in northern Uppland, approx. 130 km north of Stockholm.

ELASTOLAN AB was founded in 1974, but its immediate predecessor was one of the first to begin manufacturing urethane rubber in Sweden - in 1962. Development of methods, grades, adjustment, areas of use and technical applications has continued since then, and is still a part of the company's philosophy. ELASTOLAN's manufacturing differs from conventional production of rubber goods in that the rubber is built up from scratch by mixing hot liquid components, which during reaction are cast in a liquid state using casting techniques. Vulcanisation brings the energy that chemically bonds all the components to form rubber-elastic, non thermoplastic meltable or softening polymers. Since ELASTOLAN does not use softening agents or other non-chemically reacting fillers, no components can be dissolved or can migrate from the rubber.

ELASTOLAN is the only manufacturer in the Nordic countries that produces urethane rubber across the entire rubber-elastic scale, and it has the more variants of urethane rubber than anyone else. The company has the broadest range of production in the Nordic countries. It is completely customised, ranging from individual prototypes to short series in unit weights from less than one gram to several hundred kilograms, homogeneous rubber and rubber/metal applications, and re-coatings on used metal cores, principally wheel and sandwich designs and rollers.

ELASTOLAN consequently does not have any products of its own, but has the Nordic countries' biggest stock of so-called standardised blanks (see standard range) for production of a wide range of products (see manufacturing range). Production can take place at the customer's facilities or on our premises, as required.

ELASTOLAN's mechanical department for production and all kinds of adjustment processing of urethane rubber products is very extensive.

The main idea behind the company is the greatest possible variety of grades and hardnesses, practical applications in the service of customers and development from the concept stage, design and prototype through to the finished product for the customer's specific requirements.

ELASTOLAN's policy is diversity and creativity - not large volumes or mass production.

We are happy you have come to visit our website and hope it will provide you with an understanding of our versatility in the field of urethane rubber production.
