TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane.

In the 40s German manufactured polyurethane adhesives, and not until 50s a series of reports on PU was published on papers, did the world start to have a preliminary understanding of polyurethane elastomer. A number of European countries and Japan gradually developed a variety of polyurethane products, including polyurethane foam and coatings .

From 70s to 80s, there were more than 300 brands of polyurethane products , such as series injection molding, water polyurethane, flexible polyurethane foams, coatings, adhesives, and waterproof polyurethane products were all new materials developed in that period. After years of continuing national and institutional research and development TPU had increasingly become diverse and adopted in a range of applications, the strength and durability of material also had substantial improvement. TPU, whose physical properties is a polymer between plastic and rubber is made through a variety of different types of production procedures. You can find TPU is used artificial leather, fiber, and adhesive agent. The wide range of applications extends from everyday industry to defense industry and medical and health supplies.

[ The Future ]

As people look to take better care of the Environment by choosing Greener alternatives, TPU is growing in use. It is a healthy alternative to PVC. Because of this reason, many European Union countries have started limiting PVC.
TPU is bound to replace PVC and become the World's most widely used environmentally friendly polymer material in the future.
