thermoplastic polyurethanes
Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are versatile materials known for their flexibility, durability, and resistance to abrasion. They are a type of polymer that can be melted and reshaped multiple times without losing their properties, making them ideal for various applications, including automotive parts, footwear, and medical devices.
TPUs are created by combining two main components: a polyol and a diisocyanate. This combination results in a material that can be tailored to meet specific performance requirements, such as hardness, elasticity, and chemical resistance. Their adaptability makes TPUs popular in industries like textiles, electronics, and construction.
