TPU
Material type: Plastic, Good impact resistance, Durable
TPU is called thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber. It is a type of polymer material between rubber and plastic. It is mainly divided into polyester type and polyether type. It is a mature environmentally friendly material.
TPU has excellent characteristics of high tension, high tensile force, toughness and aging resistance, and has the characteristics of high strength, good toughness, wear resistance, cold resistance, oil resistance, water resistance, aging resistance, and weather resistance that other plastic materials can’t match.
