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
Excellent abrasion-resistance
Excellent mechanical strength(good tensile strength, highly thermal-resistant)
Excellent oil/gasoline-resistance
Good resilience and flexibility
Good cold-resistance and weather resistance
Easily workable with other plastics and rubber
*Applications
Electric wire covering, air pressure tube, hose, antennas,
cellular phone parts, soccer shoes sole, heel tip, oil seal
and dust seal, snow chain, lane controle pole, inline skate
wheels and hub, vehicle parts, PVC, POM, SEBS Blending,
calendar ring film, T-Die film processing, and Blown film
processing, etc.
