Polyurethane, silicone, rubber and technical polymers to improve the performance of your equipment
In industry, each application comes with its own specific constraints: abrasion, impact, dynamic fatigue, sealing, temperature, contact with fluids, ageing, noise, production rates, hygiene, humid or aggressive environments.
EXSTO supports industrial companies in the design, development and production of elastomer and technical polymer solutions tailored to their real operating conditions.
Our approach goes beyond simply selecting a material. We analyse your application, operating constraints, production environment and performance objectives to define the most relevant solution: polyurethane, silicone, rubber, technical polymer or a combination of several areas of expertise.
Meeting your industrial constraints
Are you looking to increase the service life of your equipment, secure a sealing function, reduce wear, absorb shocks, limit noise or improve the performance of your parts in demanding environments?
Our teams work on a wide range of challenges, including:
- resistance to abrasion and wear;
- resistance to shocks, impacts and dynamic loads;
- static or dynamic sealing;
- flexibility, elasticity and controlled deformation;
- thermal resistance;
- ageing resistance;
- contact with fluids or chemical environments;
- noise and vibration reduction;
- protection of parts or equipment;
- transfer, conveying or scraping;
- cleanliness, hygiene or compliance requirements;
- industrialisation of custom-made technical parts.
Multi-material expertise serving your application
Each material has its own advantages. Final performance depends on the right alignment between formulation, processing method, part geometry and real operating conditions.
Industrial polyurethane: resistance, durability and mechanical performance
Polyurethane is a benchmark material for applications exposed to abrasion, impact, fatigue, dynamic loads or demanding environments.
EXSTO develops polyurethane elastomer solutions to improve the service life, reliability and performance of industrial equipment.
Our expertise covers technical wheels, rollers, coatings, linings, moulded parts, machined parts, protective components, tooling, large-size parts and custom-made components.

Your business sector
Our solutions are designed for a wide range of industrial environments:
From technical need to industrialised solution
The performance of an elastomer part does not depend solely on its material. It also depends on its design, manufacturing process, geometry, operating environment, level of control and ability to be produced reliably.
EXSTO supports you at every stage:
- application analysis;
- identification of constraints;
- material selection;
- process recommendation;
- design or optimisation of the part;
- prototyping;
- testing;
- industrialisation;
- production;
- technical and quality support.
