Custom Polyurethane Solutions
Since 1986, Duraprene has been proudly serving the community with unmatched service and decades of expertise.
What we do
At Duraprene, we design and manufacture custom polyurethane components tailored to our customers’ specific requirements. Polyurethane is a proven, high-performance material widely used across industrial applications due to its exceptional durability, versatility, and wear resistance. From conveyor bearings and industrial rollers to snowplow wear edges and specialty components, polyurethane consistently outperforms conventional rubber and plastic in demanding environments. Wherever extended service life and superior performance are required, polyurethane is the material of choice.
WHY POLYURETHANE
Polyurethane is an exceptionally versatile material widely used across demanding industrial sectors due to its ability to be precisely engineered for specific performance requirements. It delivers outstanding abrasion resistance, impact strength, and chemical stability, allowing components to perform reliably in harsh, high-wear environments. This adaptability enables polyurethane to outperform traditional rubber, plastics, and even metal in applications where durability, consistency, and extended service life are critical.
Polyurethane can be formulated across a broad range of hardness levels while maintaining exceptional durability and wear resistance. Below is a hardness chart illustrating the spectrum of Shore ratings available for different application requirements.
From pipeline pigs to production-grade film props, polyurethane solutions span a wide range of industrial and specialty applications. Visit our Products page to explore the industries we serve and the components our team manufactures.

About
our company
Duraprene Industries Limited was formed in 1986 with the merger of Tudor Duraprene Products Ltd. and Cast Polyurethane Products Ltd. (Ft McMurray).
At the time, the ownership group of Merv Woodworth, Fred Jessee and Wilbur (Bill) Gibson saw the opportunity and need for a different type of manufacturer, providing a wide selection of product and a technical knowledge that could offer diversity in the type of parts to be manufactured, not typical of casters at the time. Over the next 10 years the business grew to be an industry leader until Merv's untimely passing in December of 1996
In January of 1997, after several years on the shop floor, Scott Woodworth was offered the opportunity to continue his father's vision, becoming not only a shareholder with his sister Sherry, but also stepping into the daily role of General Manager
In the years that followed, Scott and Sherry were able to purchase the shares owned by Fred and Bill, becoming sole proprietors of the business with Sherry taking on full time employment with the company in September 2007
In February 2011, Scott assumed the role of company President
