Forest City Technologies helps customers solve complex custom molding challenges. When the right answer is urethane, we connect that challenge with the focused polyurethane molding expertise of our sister company, Novathane.
- Durable molded components for abrasion, impact, vibration, and load-bearing applications
- Support for replacement parts, custom geometries, and hard-to-source legacy components
- A clear path from Forest City Technologies’ engineered molding guidance to Novathane’s dedicated urethane capabilities
Start with Forest City Technologies to review your molding challenge, or connect directly with Novathane for dedicated urethane and polyurethane molding support.
When your application calls for a durable, wear-resistant molded component, urethane can be a strong fit. Forest City Technologies supports customers with a broad range of custom molding and engineered component solutions, and for specialized urethane and polyurethane molding needs, we work closely with our sister company, Novathane.
This gives customers a practical path forward: Forest City Technologies can help evaluate the application, understand the performance requirements, and connect the right molding approach, while Novathane brings focused urethane expertise for custom-molded parts built for abrasion resistance, impact performance, flexibility, and long-term durability.
Custom Urethane Solutions for Demanding Applications
Urethane molding is often used when standard rubber, plastic, or metal components do not provide the right balance of toughness, flexibility, and wear life. Molded urethane components can be engineered for applications that involve repeated impact, vibration, abrasion, load-bearing, or harsh operating conditions.
Through Novathane’s capabilities, customers can explore custom-molded urethane and polyurethane products such as pads, rings, rollers, seals, grommets, bumpers, gaskets, bushings, couplers, wheels, sprockets, and other application-specific wear components.
Where Urethane Molding Can Help
- Replacing worn or hard-to-source components for legacy equipment
- Improving wear life in high-abrasion or high-impact environments
- Reducing vibration, shock, or noise in moving systems
- Designing flexible, load-bearing, or protective components for industrial equipment
- Developing custom geometries when off-the-shelf parts do not fit the application
- Supporting low-volume, specialty, or repeat production needs
Built Around the Right Material and the Right Partner
Every urethane molding project starts with understanding the part’s real-world operating conditions. Factors such as hardness, flexibility, chemical exposure, moisture, temperature, abrasion, impact, and production volume all influence the final material and process recommendation.
Forest City Technologies helps customers look at the broader component challenge, while Novathane provides focused knowledge in custom urethane formulation, molding, reverse engineering, and application-driven part design. Together, this gives customers access to both engineered manufacturing guidance and a dedicated urethane molding resource.
Applications and Industries
Custom molded urethane components are used across industrial and OEM environments where performance, repeatability, and durability matter. Common use cases include conveying systems, stamping equipment, railroad systems, automotive applications, steel and paper production, amusement equipment, resort and gaming operations, and maintenance support for equipment where replacement parts are difficult to source.
