TPE-U

Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is assigned to the block-copolymers group. This is the basis for the multiphase morphology that is characteristic for block copolymers. The property profile results from the combination of hard and soft phases, from which characteristics such as excellent abrasion resistance can be combined with high elasticity. 

Together with our partner PolyTherm, we have the possibility to develop materials according to all requirements. 

Using TPU offers the following product benefits:

• Especially flexible across a wide temperature range
• Abrasion resistant
• High wear resistance
  
• Very high flexural strength
  
• Resistant to oil and grease
  

TPU is used in the following areas:

• Wire & Cable
• Sports
• Consumer
• Automotive
• Mechanical engineering

PolyTherm has over 20 years of experience in developing customized TPU blends and develops and produces these in close collaboration with customers or development and distribution partners such as TER Plastics POLYMER GROUP. The so-called “Tailor-Made-Production” is gaining in importance from year to year due to the increasing demands. Particularly in the areas of consumer, rehabilitation and electrical.

The “Tailor-Made-Production” offers the following benefits:

• Price-optimized compounds
• Linking of technical property profiles
• Enables fast reactions to changing requirements
