CAPA for spearhead performance
Polyurethane Manufacture
Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPU)

A major area of use of CAPA® products is in the production of thermoplastic polyurethanes, TPU's, where the CAPA® soft segment normally represents the major proportion of the finished product. Typical end uses are:

  • Airbags
  • Seals and Gaskets
  • Car Rub Strips
  • Suspension Component Covers
  • Dashboard Facing
  • Cable Covering
  • Tubes
  • Adhesives

The benefits provided by CAPA® products are:

  • Low viscosity polyols and TPU's aid processing.
  • Very good hydrolytic stability when compared to other polyester polyols.
  • Excellent tear strengths.
  • Low compression set.
  • Excellent low temperature flex properties when compared to other polyester polyols.
  • Low density for a polyester.
  • Polyester based TPU's easily painted.
  • High abrasion resistance.
  • Tight control of polydispersity hence shrinkage characteristics controlled accurately.
