Ultimaker TPU

 

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane):

Overview:

TPU possesses rubber-like elasticity, high tear and abrasion resistance, high elongation at break as well as thermal stability. Combining the properties of both plastic and rubber, TPU can produce elastic, highly durable parts that can be easily bent or compressed.

 

Application:

TPU is ideal for producing accessories, such as phone cases, and footwear components. With its high chemical resistance to oils and greases, TPU is also ideal for automotive applications like seals, gaskets, plugs, tubes and protective applications.
