TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane, a type of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) known for its flexibility, durability, and resistance to abrasion, oils, and chemicals.
Key Properties of TPU Plastic:
Elasticity & Flexibility: TPU can stretch and return to its original shape, making it ideal for applications requiring rubber-like properties.
Durability: Resistant to wear, tear, and impact, often used in high-stress environments.
Chemical & Oil Resistance: Performs well against oils, greases, and many solvents.
Transparency: Some TPU grades are clear, useful for see-through applications.
Weather Resistance: Good performance in extreme temperatures (-40°C to 80°C) and UV exposure.
