Urethane Hammers

precision-molded urethane hammers

Universal Urethane Products (UUP) manufactures precision-molded urethane hammers designed for industrial-grade impact without surface damage. Built from high-durometer cast polyurethane, these hammers deliver non-marking, non-sparking performance—making them the safer alternative to steel, rawhide, or brass mallets in sensitive or high-risk environments.

Unlike conventional striking tools that chip, spark, or deform, UUP’s urethane hammers absorb impact energy while preserving geometry, extending wear life, and protecting both operators and equipment. The result is a durable, controlled striking tool that excels in fabrication shops, assembly lines, and maintenance operations.

Technical Design Features

High-Performance Polyurethane Formulation

Each hammer is molded from UUP’s industrial-grade polyurethane, engineered to provide:

  • 60 Shore D hardness for reliable striking power without rebound
  • Superior abrasion and tear resistance to outlast rawhide hammers 5 to 1
  • Chemical resistance against oils, greases, and common shop solvents
  • Dimensional stability under repeated impact cycles

Reversible Head Construction

The solid polyurethane head is reversible, effectively doubling wear life and reducing replacement frequency.

Non-Sparking Safety

Polyurethane’s unique chemistry makes UUP hammers ideal for use in flammable environments where steel tools pose ignition risks.

Compact, Industrial Design

  • Weight: 22 oz
  • Diameter: 2 ¼”

Non-marking surface protects machined parts, dies, molds, and painted assemblies

Performance Benefits

  • Non-Marking Strikes: Safe for sensitive metals and coated surfaces
  • Extended Wear Life: Withstands flaking, cracking, and deformation in heavy-use settings
  • Safer Than Steel: Non-sparking construction suitable for restricted environments
  • Shock Absorption: Reduces operator fatigue and equipment vibration
  • Consistent Reliability: Maintains geometry and performance over long service cycles

Applications

  • Fabrication & Mold Shops – Precision work where surface integrity is critical
  • Tight-Clearance Assembly Lines – Controlled strikes without marking or rebound
  • Machine Maintenance – Safe, durable alternative to brass or rawhide mallets
  • Flammable Environments – Non-sparking construction for compliance and safety
Ordering and Availability

UUP urethane hammers are supplied as:

  • Standard stock units (22 oz, 2 ¼” diameter, 60 Shore D) ready to ship in 1–2 business days
  • Custom-engineered hammers with variations in hardness, size, or color (red, yellow, orange, green, black, clear) to match specific application needs

Every hammer is molded in-house in the USA to ensure consistency, durability, and traceability. Direct purchase is available online or through UUP’s sales team, with both standard and custom options supported.
