1. Core Technical Features of Covestro TPU

1. Full Substrate Coverage and Customizable Performance

    

   Covestro TPU covers four major substrate systems: polyester-based, polyether-based, polycaprolactone-based, and polycarbonate-based, with a hardness range from ultra-soft Shore A60 to ultra-hard Shore D92. Special properties such as weather resistance, flame retardancy, food contact compliance, and medical grade can be customized according to customer needs, adapting to full-scenario application requirements.
    
2. Extremely Balanced Mechanical Properties

    

   It features extremely high tensile strength, tear resistance, abrasion resistance and resilience, maintaining stable mechanical performance over a wide temperature range. Soft grades have excellent rebound and shock absorption performance, while hard grades combine high rigidity and impact resistance, solving the core pain point of traditional engineering plastics that "high rigidity equals high brittleness".
    
3. Differentiated Environmental Tolerance
    
   • Polyester-based TPU: Excellent abrasion resistance, oil resistance, chemical solvent resistance, and high mechanical strength, suitable for general industry, shoe materials, and wear-resistant parts.
   • Polyether-based TPU: Excellent hydrolysis resistance, low temperature resistance (down to below -40ºC), and microbial resistance, suitable for outdoor applications, hydraulic hoses, low temperature environments, and water supply and drainage scenarios.
   • Polycarbonate-based/Polycaprolactone-based TPU: Excellent weather resistance, damp heat aging resistance, and yellowing resistance, with extremely low performance degradation after long-term outdoor use, suitable for automotive exterior parts, outdoor films, and high-end weather-resistant accessories.
    
4. Full Process Processing Adaptability

    

   Compatible with multiple processing technologies including injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, calendering, and 3D printing, with a wide processing window. It has excellent overmolding adhesion with engineering plastics such as PC, ABS and PA, and can realize two-color injection molding and composite extrusion, adapting to the large-scale production of complex structural parts.
    
5. Full-dimensional Compliance and Environmental Protection

    

   The full product line complies with RoHS and REACH environmental protection standards. Corresponding grades have passed a number of international certifications such as FDA food contact, ISO 10993 medical biocompatibility, UL flame retardancy, and automotive industry IATF16949, which can meet the compliance requirements of various regions around the world.
