Manufactured locally in Jinshan, China, these materials can be easily extruded, injection molded or converted into technical films and sheets for use in the manufacture of shoes, wires and cables, wearable devices, luggage, furniture and technical clothing. At Chinaplas 2015, there will be specific emphasis on:

  • UV resistant TPUs for the footwear industry
  • High performance TPUs for cables used in transport and automation applications
  • Hard wearing, soft touch, water resistant TPUs for the manufacture of suitcases
