TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
Colors:
- Gray-black
- Any color is achievable with finishing
Description:
Thermoplastic polyurethane blends the features of rubber and plastic into a soft material. It contains strong interlayer bonding that boosts its resistance to chemicals. Industrial oils and chemicals have little effect on this material due to its good corrosion resistance. Notwithstanding, TPU is semi-flexible in nature and its common applications include functional prototypes, sleeves, guides, and protective cases.
