What is ELLAS TPU / THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANE?
ELLAS a thermoplastic polyurethane resin, is used in ski goggles, shoe soles, snow chains. ELLAS which is similar to plastic at a normal temperature, becomes like rubber at a high temperature. It features excellent abrasion-resistance, repulsive elasticity and easy workability. The areas of its application are expanding with the increase in the number of people interested in enhancing the quality of their life.
*Feature
