TPU is a thermoplastic polyurethane, which is divided into polyester type and polyether type. It has a wide hardness range (60HA-85HD), abrasion resistance, oil resistance, transparency, good elasticity, and is widely used in water transportation and other fields. The following is a professional  TPU  layflat hose manufacturer to explain to you those advantages of tpu material.

1) Wide range of hardness: By changing the ratio of each reaction component of TPU, products with different hardness can be obtained, and as the hardness increases, its product still maintains good elasticity and wear resistance.
2) High mechanical strength: The bearing capacity, impact resistance and shock absorption performance of TPU products are outstanding. 3) Outstanding cold resistance: The glass transition temperature of TPU is relatively low, and it still maintains good elasticity, flexibility and other physical properties at minus 35 degrees.
4) Good processing performance: TPU can be processed by common thermoplastic material processing methods, such as injection molding, extrusion, calendaring, etc. At the same time, co-processing of TPU with certain polymer materials can yield polymer alloys with complementary properties.
5) Oil, water and mold resistant, widely used in conveying pipes; fire hoses, etc.
