The Lubrizol ECO TPU range is a biobased TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) manufactured from renewable raw materials (between 30% and 70%, as determined by ASTM-D6866). ECO-TPUs offer high performance and some advantages compared to traditional TPUs. These ECO TPUs are available in the shore hardness range from Shore 82A to Shore 55D.


Advantages
• Superior abrasion resistance
• Very good chemical resistance
• Flexibility in cold temperatures
• UV and hydrolysis resistance
• Transparency
• Excellent mechanical properties
• Suitable for injection molding and extrusion processing

Application examples
• Hoses
• Drive belt
• Automotive interior parts
• Textile coatings
• Formulations for reactive polyurethane hotmelts (HMPUR)
• Various injection molded parts
• Housing/overmolded handles
• Shoes
• Glasses
• Watch straps
• Sports equipment
• Smartphone
• Headphones
• Consumer goods and appliances
