Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)

polyurethane (TPU) conveyor belts

About the material

Polyurethane is a polymer composed of organic units joined by urethane links.

Among the different varieties of polyurethanes, we find Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), which has a structure that provides properties that other types of polymers do not possess, making them very useful for high-performance applications. The main characteristics include:

TPUs can be classified into different groups depending on their nature. The two main groups are characterized by:

  1. Premium TPU with resistance to hydrolysis and microorganisms, and greater flexibility at low temperatures.
  2. Standard TPU with resistance to thermo-oxidation and greater resistance to oils and greases.

Benefits

  • High resistance to wear and abrasion.
  • Very good flexibility even at low temperatures.
  • High resistance to vegetable, animal, and mineral oils and fats.
  • Resistance to impacts and cutting (better than PVC).
