Q: Why is TPU suitable for film and extrusion applications?
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) Elastollan® is a highly versatile polymer combining elasticity, mechanical strength and processability. Its ability to form thin, flexible and durable films makes TPU particularly suitable for film and extrusion coating applications across industrial, medical and consumer markets.
Q: Which TPU grades are suitable for film and extrusion coating applications?
TPU Elastollan® grades for films and extrusion coatings are selected based on processing method, required flexibility, adhesion and regulatory needs. Elastollan® TPU is available in various series, from aromatics to aliphatic grades, combined with different types of polyols for flat films, extrusion coatings, surface protection films and laminated structures.
Q: Which TPU grades are suitable for optical films?
TPU Elastollan® L series is specially designed for optical films providing high transparency, low haze and reliable adhesion to substrates such as glass or polycarbonate. These properties make TPU films well suited for laminated safety glass and functional optical applications.
Q: Why is TPU suitable for textiles and nonwoven applications?
TPU Elastollan® films and coatings offer outstanding elasticity, breathability and a pleasant surface feel, which are essential for functional textiles and nonwovens. Their ability to combine flexibility with water vapor permeability enables comfortable, high-performance textile laminates.
Q: Which material is used for evacuation slides for airplanes?
TPU such as Elastollan® is used in evacuation slides for air planes due to its high flexibility, elasticity and resilience, its weather and UV stability, and its outstanding wear resistance.
Q: Which other products does TPU Elastollan® cater to?
TPU Elastollan® can also be used in giant fuel bags and boats.
Q: Which plastic is suitable for films?
TPU Elastollan® is suitable for architectural glass, optical films, and industrial films. Hot melts and hot bond products can also be produced using Elastollan®.
