What are the properties of TPU?
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is a polymer material that has high ductility, good biocompatibility and excellent abrasion resistance. These properties open a pathway to manufacturing functional TPU parts for applications in various fields such as aerospace engineering, medical devices and sports equipment.
Is TPU a rubber or plastic?
TPU or Thermoplastic Polyurethane are a category of plastic created when a polyaddition reaction occurs between diisocyanate and one or more diols. They can be used as a soft engineering plastic or as a replacement for hard rubber.
What is the disadvantage of TPU?
Not rigid enough for some industrial applications. Absorbs surrounding moisture (hygroscopic) Difficult to post-process (due to its abrasion resistance and chemical resistance) Must be printed at low speed.
What is the material of TPU?
Thermoplastic polyurethane is often abbreviated as TPU. It is a melt-processable thermoplastic elastomer. It has the characteristics of both plastic and rubber. Thus, it exhibits properties like durability, flexibility, and excellent tensile strength.
