Casting Resin, Unsaturated PU is a subcategory of Polyurethane. It is specially formulated to casting resin, unsaturated. Its tensile strength ranges from 10000 to 11000 MPa at break. Its elongation at break ranges from 3 to 6 %. Its hardness ranges from 30 to 35 .

Polyurethane, also known as PU, is a thermoplastic or thermoset, (typically reinforced), polyadduct. Common trade names are Estane and Pellanthane. thermoset It has high impact resistance, dielectric strength, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance. It can be made into films, solid moldings, or flexible foams. However, it becomes brittle with prolonged outdoor exposure. It is often used in automotive structural members, computer housings, furniture, and packaging foams.
