Polyester-based, high performance, exhibiting low and high temperature performance |
Depending upon the grade selected, thermoplastic polyurethanes are:
- tough and durable -- unparalleled with their abrasion resistance
- well suited for both soft and rigid applications
- lightweight, especially as a metal replacement
- provided with good elasticity properties
- offer good color stability with UV additives
- formulated for applications calling for good-to-excellent transparency
- recyclable
- available in a wide range of hardnesses, from 50 Shore A to 74 Shore D
- excellent for low temperature flexibility and fatigue resistance
- cut and tear resistant
- hydrolytically stable and naturally antimicrobial
- excellent for adhering to many different substrates (by overmolding)
- oil, grease, fuel, solvent and chemical resistant
- resistant to creep in load bearing applications
- available in polyester and polyether chemistries
- available in halogen and non-halogen FR (fire retardant) grades
- easy to process -- depending on the grade, can be injection molded, extruded, blow molded, calendared, slush molded or thermoformed
