Rigid Polyurethane as an engineering material
Whereas today's designers have a wide choice of engineering plastics at their disposal, compact rigid polyurethane offers unique, often hidden benefits.
Synbiosis choose rigid polyurethane for the enclosure over other traditional plastics as the uncertainty of any new market suggested heavy tooling investments imprudent.
In the early stages, the inexpensive moulds used in the polyurethane process enabled changes, either necessary for functional performance or merely desirable for profile, to be easily realised.
Sitting pretty on any laboratory bench, the chic contours mask a complex shape, effortlessly absorbing the ergonomic considerations.
A smooth recess for the switch, a precision cutout for the removable specimen plate, and a shallow indentation for the logo are all accommodated without sacrificing style.
Rigid polyurethane will accept a smooth paint finish or the textured random dapple effect to add a little elegance.
