Language
The term Polyurethane or TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) refers to a large family of polymers where the polymer chain is made up of NH-(CO)-O urethane bonds.
The first industrial process for TPU production was patented in 1942 by William Hanford and Donald Holmes at Du Pont de Nemours & amp; Company.
Thermoplastic granules are mainly used to process flexible and high-elasticity foam seats, rigid foam insulation panels, microcellular foam joints and gaskets, solid elastomer wheels, bushings for the automotive industry, compounds for electronics, high-performance adhesives, surface coatings and sealants, synthetic fibres, carpet bottom layers and hard-plastic parts.
TPU production is a rapidly expanding market, because this polymer is very versatile. The pellets produced by Filtec’s machines provide an end result of the highest quality.
For those who work in the medical, footwear or for specific applications, it is essential to receive high-quality pellets, so that the end product can be processed with maximum output.
Filtec’s TPU granulation systems are designed to meet the production needs of our clients and guarantee an excellent end product. High experience and specific expertise in this sector allow us to provide all the assistance you need to manufacture such a versatile and important product.
