TPU 3D Printing
3D-printed TPU offers rubber-like elasticity and elongation with good abrasion and impact resistance
TPU 70-A is a white thermoplastic polyurethane that combines rubber-like elasticity and elongation with good abrasion and impact resistance properties. The rubber-like quality of this material make it ideal for seals, gaskets, grips, hoses, or any other application where excellent resistance under dynamic loading is required.
Primary Benefits
- High elongation at break
- Flexibility
