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

 

 

 

 

 

The benefits provided by CAPA® products are:

  • Low viscosity polyols and TPU's aid processing.
  • Very good hydrolytic stability.
  • Excellent tear strengths.
  • Low compression set.
  • Excellent low temperature flex.
  • Low density.
  • Good paintability.
  • High abrasion resistance. 
  • Low polydispersity.
  • Low shrinkage.
