Injection Grade TPU – the undisputed heavyweight champion of polymer performance. This isn’t just plastic; it’s engineered resilience. It’s the muscle behind products that demand a brutal combination of flexibility, strength, and sheer durability. When your design needs to bend, not break, and absorb impact without flinching, you spec TPU. Stop compromising. Start dominating.
KEY BENEFITS
| Benefit | What It Means For Your Product |
|---|---|
| Extreme Impact Resistance | Takes a hit and bounces back. Perfect for protective gear, industrial parts, and anything that gets dropped, kicked, or slammed. |
| Outstanding Abrasion & Tear Resistance | Laughs off wear and tear. Your product lasts longer, looks better, and maintains integrity under friction. |
| Superb Flexibility & Elasticity | Moves like it’s alive. Returns to its original shape again and again, without fatigue or permanent deformation. |
| High-Grip, Tactile Surface | Feels secure in the hand. Provides a non-slip surface that enhances user safety and product premium feel. |
| Excellent Chemical & Oil Resistance | Stands strong against harsh environments. Oils, greases, and many solvents won’t break it down. |
| Broad Hardness Range | From a soft, squeezable gel to a rigid, structural component. We have the durometer you need. |
