Description :
ESTANE® ECO TPU is the flagship product under the Bio-TPU™ by Lubrizol product offering. Originally developed by Merquinsa, ESTANE® ECO TPU is the first bio-based* TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) to not compromise on high-performance when compared to traditional petroleum-based TPUs. Its outstanding mechanical, physical and chemical properties offer significant flexibility in a wide-range of applications including:
• Highly flexible films
• Abrasion resistant hoses
• Soft touch injection molded parts
• Special compounds.

ESTANE® ECO TPU is made up of block copolymers consisting of a sequence of polyol soft segments and hard polyurethane segments. ESTANE® ECO TPU bridges the gap between thermoplastics and rubbers and can be used pure, as an additive or in blends with other polymers or rubbers.
