Technically, TPU is a thermoplastic elastomer consisting of linear segmented block copolymers of hard and soft segments. Thermoplastic polyurethane has many properties, including elasticity, transparency and resistance to oil, grease and abrasion.
Properties of TPU
- High abrasion resistance
- Low temperature performance
- High shear strength
- High elasticity
- Transparency
- Oil and grease resistance
Areas of application for TPU
Automotive instrument panels, support wheels, power tools, sporting goods, medical devices, drive belts, shoe soles, inflatable boats, extruded film, sheet and profile applications. As well as an impact modifier for other polymers.
