Polymed XE1008 is a catalysed polyether compound which reacts with Polymed I1000 isocyanate to form a polyurethane elastomer with good mechanical properties. This material is one of a series of products ranging in hardness from 50 Shore A to 90 Shore A. The material codes for the series are as follows: XE1007 (50A); XE1008 (60A); XE1009 (70A); XE1010 (80A); XE1011 (90A) The range of polyols use a common isocyanate and the required grade of polyol should be selected to produce the required hardness. This series of materials may be supplied ready pigmented or unpigmented. A range of pigment dispersions are available for the unpigmented product.

XE1008 has been formulated for applications requiring a 60 Shore A polyurethane elastomer with good mechanical properties and good resistance to hydrolysis. These properties are obtained using moderate moulding and postcure temperatures.
