TPU

Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPU) are unique products with different properties that are interesting for a great variety of applications:

High resistance against washing and cleaning methods (textile applications)
High elasticity within complete hardnesses range
Good resistance against oils, fats and many solvents
Free of plasticizers
[…]

Therefore TPU finds utilization in many areas such as textile, sport- and leisure industry, military, medical or automotive.

The product series ROWALIT^®500 usually covers a melting range of 55-145°C.
