What's a TPU?
What is TPU, and why is it used by almost every innovator today?
Have you ever had problems with the worn-out clock straps, the broken shoe sole or the hard and fragile 3D printing that fell apart at first use? Then it's time to meet TPU – Thermoplastic polyurethane.
TPU is an extremely durable and flexible material that combines the best properties of plastics and rubber. It is resistant to wear, UV light and cold, so it is used everywhere where normal materials simply do not work.
Why are users using TPU?
- Because they don't want to change the cracked straps for smart watches anymore.
- Because they need soles that last more than one season.
- Because in 3D print they are looking for material that is simultaneously softly moving and indestructible.
Examples of use of TPU material
| Application | Priority |
|---|---|
| 3D printing of flexible parts | Excellent resistance to fracture and rolling |
| Watch straps | Nice to touch, durable and UV durable |
| Shoes and flip flops | Long service life even in cold weather |
TPU in fact, it is a lifeline for all who have enough rapid wear, cracking, and non-aesthetic deformation. Whether you print at home or develop a product for the market – you will not miss with TPU.
Do not take any more risks with fragile materials!
If you have ever invested in a project where the 3D printed product has been destroyed after a few uses, then you know that the choice of the right material is crucial. With TPU you will finally breathe with full lungs – it is created to last!
Are you ready to create something that really holds?
