Background to POWERFLEX

EPTG Ltd (European Polyurethane Technologies Group) was formed in the UK in 1996 to take advantage of the significant advances made in the development of polyurethane in recent years.

The company has wide experience in automotive suspension and chassis systems and combining these design skills with advanced polyurethane manufacturing techniques led to the development of a wide range of high performance automotive polyurethane components now known the world over by the product name POWERFLEX.

The stainless steel components are machined on the latest computer-controlled equipment to ensure perfect repeatability and quality.

The moulding and tooling, design and manufacturing are carried out within the factory ensuring very rapid response time to special projects and complete communication between development, prototyping, testing and manufacturing departments. Component manufacturing is carried out with the latest automatic processing equipment ensuring 100% right-first-time quality. Testing of new components is carried out both on the vehicle and on test rigs.

All of these factors combine to make Powerflex the number one performance bushing.

BM Performance Centre stocks and sells both Road Series and Black Series bushes (for track and motorsport use) and suspension components.

Road Series – for Road and fast Road use.

POWERFLEX Road Series bushes improve your cars’ road holding and chassis performance by controlling the amount of unwanted flex in the suspension. This means the suspension is doing what it is supposed to. It means your tyres have greater contact with the road at all times, therefore, improving safety and performance. Correctly formulated polyurethane is as good if not better at noise, vibration and harshness suppression when compared to worn rubber. Our Road bushes offer Prolonged tyre life, Improved performance, Increase safety, and Greater cost-effectiveness.

Black Series – for Track and Motorsport use.

POWERFLEX Black Series bushes are manufactured using our Black 95 Shore A compound to provide maximum control of chassis geometry. They are designed for the Track, ready to Race and are engineered to be the best. This compound can be up to 80% more resistant to load than standard rubber and 25% stiffer than our purple performance material. If your requirements are purely for the ultimate in handling and chassis performance then Powerflex Black Series are unique, offering the most precise and accurate alignment for your chassis.

OUR MATERIALS

Our materials are colour coded to make them easily identifiable. Below explains the shore rating and their common uses.

Red 65A – Used for our Universal exhaust mounts and diesel engine mounts.

Yellow 70A – Mainly used for engine mounts, diff mounts and subframe mounts or areas where the bush needs a lot of movement and absorption.

Purple 80A – Our most common material. This is used in most areas of the suspension and provides the right mix between performance and compliance.

Black 95A – Our hardest material. This is used mostly for our Black Series range or in our Road Series where the vehicle’s standard suspension demands require us to use this hardness of material i.e. in areas of high load.

This is a replacement part that uses our Black Series material to boost stiffness over the original part by 18% to withstand increased loading seen by this position on the car. 

We are pleased to introduce PFF5-4020BLK and PFF5-4021BLK Engine Mount Insert Kits, intermediate alternatives to the BMW Motorsport aluminium inserts and much stiffer full replacement engine mounts available on the aftermarket. Made in our Black 95A durometer material, they are designed to fit the voiding of the OE mounts snuggly to restrict engine movement, perfect for those with tuned track cars. Their design and flexibility also mean they can be fitted to the vehicle without removing the engine mounts themselves. Reducing engine/transmission movement by way of upgraded inserts has the following benefits: - Sharper throttle response - Improved gear shifting - More direct power transfer - More balanced on/off throttle handling - Prolonged life of the OE mounts. A small increase in NVH, usually at idle, should be expected when stiffening the connecting mount between the engine and chassis. The harder the material used, the greater the NVH transmitted.
