Key features of Thermoplastic Polyurethane Flexibility and durability: TPU offers excellent flexibility and durability, enabling it to withstand demanding conditions and repetitive stresses without losing its shape or performance. High mechanical strength: TPU exhibits impressive mechanical strength, making it suitable for applications that require toughness and resistance to abrasion. Chemical and UV resistance: TPU resists the effects of various chemicals, oils, and UV radiation, ensuring long-lasting performance in challenging environments. Versatile processing: TPU can be processed using a variety of methods, including injection molding, extrusion, blow molding meltblown and calender coating, depending on different applications and designs. Wide range of hardness: TPU materials can be formulated to achieve a broad range of hardness levels, from soft and flexible to rigid and tough, providing flexibility in product design. Why choose high-performance TPU resins Explore our carefully curated selection of high-performance TPU resins. These resins have been specifically tailored to meet the unique needs and performance requirements of various industries. Our range includes TPU grades with different hardness levels, mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and UV stability. Whether you require a soft, flexible TPU for footwear or a rigid, tough TPU for industrial applications, our product selection ensures that you find the right TPU resin for your specific needs. Manufacturing Processes of TPU Learn about the various manufacturing techniques employed to produce TPU. Melt processing involves melting TPU pellets and then molding or extruding them into desired shapes. Solution processing involves dissolving TPU in a solvent and then casting or coating it onto a substrate, followed by evaporation of the solvent. Each manufacturing process offers specific advantages and is chosen based on the desired end-product requirements.

Our Desmopan® CQ range offers exciting new possibilities to reduce the carbon footprint. Bio-circular solutions (Desmopan® CQ MBC): Bio-circular is about mixing fossil and renewable, recycled or waste based feedstock in existing manufacturing systems while keeping track of their quantities through detailed verified bookkeeping and allocate them to specific end products. Recycling solutions (Desmopan® CQ RC): Recycled products are made from secondary raw materials that have already gone through a product cycle and have been processed by specific procedures. Bio-based solutions (Desmopan® CQ EC): Bio-based raw materials originate from plant, animal or algae biomass. In the case of TPU we use for example starch / industrial corn. * Bio-based content as determined according to ASTM-D6866 All our solutions that carry the suffix CQ”, derived from Circular Intelligence Quotient are living proof of our CE vision becoming reality: By using renewable and alternative raw materials such as feedstocks from waste or biomass – either segregated or mass-balanced feedstocks – as well as energy sources and unique chemical recycling technologies, we showcase our Circular Intelligence, offering different possibilities to reduce the carbon footprint. Can TPU be recycled? Yes, TPU can be recycled . It is a thermoplastic material, which means it can be melted and reprocessed multiple times without significant degradation in its properties. Recycling methods include mechanical recycling as well as chemical recycling. Why TPU for a mono-material design? Due to its versatility TPU is a great mono-material. TPU that not only provides a high degree of flexibility and resistance across a wide range of...
