TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
MaterialAbout
Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is a versatile thermoplastic elastomer known for its exceptional flexibility and durability. It combines the properties of plastics and rubbers, offering high elasticity and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for applications requiring both strength and resilience. TPU is widely used in various industries, including automotive, sports equipment, and consumer goods. Its thermoplastic nature allows it to be processed through conventional methods like injection molding and extrusion. TPU's structure consists of alternating hard and soft segments, which can be adjusted to achieve different hardness levels. It offers excellent chemical resistance, UV stability, and microbial resistance. TPU is also biodegradable and recyclable, providing environmental benefits over other materials. Its applications range from coatings and adhesives to medical devices and electronics. The material's versatility and sustainability make it a preferred choice for numerous industrial applications.
