Key Properties of TPU Resin

1️⃣ Flexibility and Elasticity

TPU material’s hardness ranges from 50 A to 75 D (Shore scale)。 It retains its shape under stress, making it ideal for dynamic applications like sports gear, seals, and wearable tech.

2️⃣ Durability and Abrasion Resistance

Excellent wear resistance, perfect for conveyor belts, soles, and automotive parts, reducing wear in high-friction environments.

3️⃣ Chemical & Oil Resistance

TPU material shrugs off oils, solvents, and harsh chemicals, ensuring long-term reliability in medical devices, machinery, and chemical-resistant coatings.

4️⃣ Temperature Performance

It maintains properties from freezing -40°C to scorching 120°C, with cold flexibility and high-temperature resistance. Perfect for automotive under-the-hood components or outdoor equipment.

5️⃣ Customizable Versatility

Tailor hardness, transparency, color, and processing methods to your exact specs. TPU resin adapts to your vision, whether you need soft-touch grips or crystal-clear films.

6️⃣ Eco-Conscious Performance

Our TPU plastic is recyclable and complies with REACH, RoHS, and FDA standards—sustainable solutions that align with your brand’s eco-goals.

Applications of TPU Plastic:

From automotive seals to flexible 3D-printed insoles, TPU resin is versatile. It’s used in:

Footwear for comfortable, long-lasting soles.

Industrial settings for conveyor belts and pneumatic tubes.

Medical devices, offering biocompatible components for safety.

Consumer goods like protective cases with a soft-touch feel.

TPU vs TPE Vs Nylon Vs ABS

Choosing the Right Plastic for Your Application

Property	TPU	TPE	Nylon	ABS
Flexibility & Elasticity	High elasticity, retains shape under stress	Soft but lower tear resistance	Rigid, prone to cracking	Stiff, limited flexibility
Temperature Resistance	-40°C to 120°C (no cracking/melting)	-30°C to 80°C (deforms)	Up to 150°C (but absorbs moisture)	-20°C to 80°C (warping risk)
Chemical/Oil Resistance	Excellent (resists oils, solvents, acids)	Swells in oils/chemicals	Absorbs moisture, weak acids	Dissolves in solvents
Durability	Abrasion/tear-resistant, long lifespan	Prone to tearing	High strength but brittle	Brittle under impact
Eco-Friendliness	Recyclable, REACH/RoHS/FDA compliant	Limited recyclability	Recyclable but high carbon footprint	Limited recyclability
Processing Efficiency	Fast molding/extrusion, no post-curing	Fast but limited precision	Fast but moisture-sensitive	Fast but brittle finish
Price Cost	Moderate (high value-for-performance)	Low	Moderate	Low

TPU Resin FAQs

Can you customize TPU resin properties like hardness, color, or transparency?

Yes! We specialize in custom formulations:

Do you offer technical support for processing TPU resin (e.g., injection molding)?

Yes. Our engineers provide free technical guidance on:
– Optimal processing temps/pressures.
– Mold design tweaks to reduce defects.
– Troubleshooting extrusion or 3D printing issues.
We also share material datasheets and processing guidelines upfront.

What’s your MOQ, and can I request samples before placing an order?

MOQ starts at 1 ton for standard grades. Custom formulations require 5 tons. We provide free sample kits (3–5 kg) with a signed NDA. Testing our material in your production line is encouraged!

How does your TPU resin compare cost-wise to alternatives like TPE or PVC?

While TPU costs 20–30% more than TPE/PVC, its longevity, reduced waste, and performance under stress lower total lifecycle costs. For example, TPU automotive seals last 3x longer than PVC, reducing replacement frequency.

Are your TPU resins suitable for outdoor applications with UV exposure?

Yes. Our UV-stabilized grades resist yellowing and degradation, even in harsh sunlight. Ideal for outdoor gear, automotive trim, or construction seals. Ask for our QUV test reports.

Can TPU be recycled?

Yes. It is a thermoplastic material, which means it can be melted and reprocessed multiple times without significant degradation in its properties. Recycling methods include mechanical recycling as well as chemical recycling.

Why TPU for a mono-material design?

Due to its versatility TPU is a great mono-material. TPU that not only provides a high degree of flexibility and resistance across a wide range of temperatures but is also capable of running the entire structural spectrum from hard and stiff – to soft and elastic.
Its high degree of adaptability can even combine the contrasting features of rubber and plastics in terms of flexibility and rigidity, making it a processing multi-talent that’s ready for any challenge.
