About Bunker Corporation

For more than 20 years Bunker Corporation, the parent company of Energy Suspension, has been a trusted O.E.M. and aftermarket polyurethane component manufacturer.

Over two decades of experience in innovating, engineering and formulating a wide selection of polyurethane components for many different industries has qualified Bunker Corp. as a premier manufacturer of the highest quality polyurethane products available today.

Constantly working to be on the cutting edge in development, design and production, Bunker Corp. has always strived to exceed all industry standards. Excellence is company policy, from the initial design stages, where tolerances, preloads and material formulations are made–through the molding processes, to welding techniques, to hardware selection.

Combining its state-of-the-art equipment and an experienced staff of professionals, Bunker Corp. designs, engineers, and then formulates each polyurethane component for its specific application.

This comprehensive design process can result in the newly developed components appearing very different from the original rubber (or an alternate material) components they would replace. This attention to component function and the devotion to quality has resulted in several patents for Bunker Corp.

Clearly, Bunker Corp. is set apart from others–others who may merely duplicate a rubber or other material component into polyurethane, with little or no attention to how the change in materials will affect the function of the original design and the components around it.

Bunker Corp.'s commitment to excellence, experience with materials and design, and attention to detail combine to meet your demands.

Why Hyper-Flex

A revolutionary material that is changing the never-ending, expensive manufacturing and maintenance cycle is polyurethane. Invented in the late 30's by Otis Bayer, known for Bayer Aspirin, polyurethane was utilized as a synthetic alternative to rubber when rubber was in short supply during World War ll. Since that time, polyurethane has been found to be an extremely versatile and durable material, now utilized throughout the world for a wide variety of applications.

Twenty years of refining various polyurethane formulas have resulted in a superior blend of polyurethane which Bunker Corporation calls HYPER-FLEX™. Practical for countless types of applications, it has all the properties for use in extreme or heavy duty applications–such as for "million mile" vehicles, mining, commercial transportation, sports, marine, and others too numerous.

It's extended wear and extreme load bearing characteristics are exceptional. It retains its like-new functionality far longer than rubber and many other polyurethanes you may be familiar with.

Superior!

There are several advantages in employing exclusive HYPER-FLEX™ polyurethane as opposed to rubber or other ordinary polyurethane materials.

First, HYPER-FLEX™ is impervious to contaminants that will destroy rubber, such as oils, salt, smog, and ozone.

Second, it can be formulated into a very specific durometer or hardness, depending on the intended component's function.

Third, Bunker Corp. engineers typically perform a complete redesign of the O.E.M. component to better supply the customer with a superior end product.The redesigned end product will not only function better, but will often be designed for simpler installation. For example, in the case of heavy duty truck parts, typically very little heavy and costly press work is needed to install HYPER-FLEX™ polyurethane replacement parts. A great savings in down time as well as the costs associated with it is also then realized.

In addition, there are several residual benefits to utilizing HYPER-FLEX™ polyurethane components. Properly designed polyurethane components reduces fatigue of other related components. HYPER-FLEX™ polyurethane will not crush and permanently distort like rubber and many other lower quality polyurethanes on the market today. In use, it can prevent metal to metal contact, which can crack and damage expensive surrounding components. This has been documented on real-world applications by Bunker Corp. customers.

Engineering

Fine engineering at Bunker Corporation has always been a passion–to produce world class end products. This attitude has granted Bunker Corp. with the status of being a trusted O.E.M. for over 20 years.

The complex and diverse nature of HYPER-FLEX™ material requires the in-house chemists to devote their complete attention to it. This devotion has produced the quality products that Bunker Corp. customers demand. On a daily basis the chemists and engineers develop products that must deliver constant exceptional service, and nothing less.

Many Bunker Corp. product designs offer easier and faster installation procedures. Engineered with this in mind, they provide the benefit of lower repair costs, compared to the alternative, original equipment components.

Improved functionality is another important benefit of thoughtful engineering that is often overlooked. The engineers at Bunker Corp. redesign, re-engineer and then reformulate the each component for a specific application. In many cases these components appear totally different than the original they will replace. This attention to detail sets Bunker Corp. apart from the competition, who often duplicate components from other materials into polyurethane with no regard for how the new material changes the function.

Engineering with the greatest precision to produce world class products has made Bunker Corp. both grow and advance with the use of the latest technology. The HYPER-FLEX™ polyurethane products continue to amaze customers. The staff at Bunker Corp. feels that "It is as much of an art as it is a science".

Applications

This truly world class material is applicable to an unusually wide and varied number of uses.

Not only can HYPER-FLEX™ polyurethane be formulated in a wider variety of durometers than rubber, but depending on the specific application, it delivers improved performance in several important ways: better elasticity and load bearing abilities (resistance to crushing), as well as better resistance to chemicals, acids, rotting, cracking and tearing.

HYPER-FLEX™polyurethane components also improve long term overall operation and function because they retain their shape and durometer appreciably longer.

Among The Most Challenging Tests

For the automotive and transportation markets the application of HYPER-FLEX™ products have dramatically improved overall vehicle operation, handling/control and longevity. In these challenging areas HYPER-FLEX™ has been the practical choice, with a long history of successful real world applications for a very wide variety of vehicle components, from suspension components to motor mounts for both racing and road use.
Even under unusually high level of stress, HYPER-FLEX™ is able to maintain vehicle suspension alignment truer, for up to ten times longer than its counterpart O.E.M. rubber component!

HYPER-FLEX™ components also assist in improving performance and lowering component wear, ultimately reducing replacement costs. These same challenging tests of applicability have been proven in many industries and situations over many years.

Because of the amazing properties of HYPER-FLEX™ polyurethane, the various applications are unusually varied and almost limitless!Imagine all the applications in the world where rubber has been routinely applied and then simply substituted with superior HYPER-FLEX™ polyurethane!
Image applications for the depths of the oceans to the high reaches of space–the sky is the limit... and beyond.
