Market Definition

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is basically a special kind of material that bridges the gap between rubber and plastic. A polyaddition reaction creates a translucent, melt-processable, and extremely elastic thermoplastic elastomer. The characteristics of this material are transparency, high elasticity, resistance to high-energy radiation, abrasion, solvents, oil, and grease, string mechanical qualities, and can be as soft as rubber or as unyielding as rigid plastics. It is also environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and 100% recyclable as compared to polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It's largely utilized in specialty molded components, footwear, adhesives, hose, tubes, film, sheets, and wire and cable jacketing and other applications.
