LUC Group

LUC Group is a globally operating manufacturer of polyurethane elastomers for roll and wheel coverings and moulded parts. From the start in 1971 LUC specialises in producing and processing hot cast and cured polyurethane (PUR) elastomers. Polyurethane elastomers combine the strength of plastic with the elasticity of rubber. The enhanced properties make their use in many cases preferable over that of the classic rubber. The strength of LUC is the fact that the company has a very profound knowledge of polyurethane chemistry, which is especially reflected by the numerous formulations and processing methods. In addition, when problems in a specific customer application arise, the formulations and processing methods may be altered in order to meet with the customers' requirements. LUC processes many different classic polyurethane systems, with the brand names Vulkollan®, Adiprene® and Baytec® being the most commonly known. In addition to these systems LUC processes many proprietary formulations where polyether, polyester and other polyols are combined with diisocyanates such as NDI, TDI, MDI, PPDI and CHDI, and with different cross-linking agents. Due to many years of research LUC has been able to develop and produce these proprietary polyurethane systems, known in the market as LUCANYL, LUCTHAAN, LUCHYD and LUC-THS/R. LUC has an ongoing research and development program which will lead to new future Polyurethane materials with special properties.
