The answer is Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)
TPU is a material that plays a key role in countless products we use every day, from footwear and sportswear to automotive interiors, protective films, technical textiles and much more. Wherever flexibility, durability and performance are required, TPU has become a material of choice.
Not Just a Film or a Moulded Part
While TPU is well known for its use in films and moulded components, it is also a highly effective material for adhesive and coating applications, available through several different technologies:
- Hot-melt adhesives
- Solvent-based adhesives
- Solvent-based coatings
