METAPUR
TPU-TPU-Thermoplastic Polyurethane
METAPUR-TPU A Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU): A Versatile and Reprocess able Material. METAPUR-TPU stands for thermoplastic polyurethane. It is a type of thermoplastic elastomer. Hence, it is elastic and melt processable. It has many favourable properties such as elasticity, transparency, resistance towards oils and abrasion resistance. TPU is a form of block copolymer (contains soft and hard segments).
METAPUR-TPU combines the beneficial properties of polyurethane with the ease of use and reprocess ability of thermoplastics, making it an ideal material for various applications across multiple industries. TPU can be easily injection moulded using conventional thermoplastic manufacturing equipment, streamlining production processes.
