Why Elastollan®?

Among all producers of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), only BASF, the world's largest chemical company, makes Elastollan®.

BASF has been setting the benchmark for TPU quality and innovative formulations for more than 30 years. During this time, they've developed a well-deserved reputation for providing consistently excellent products and robust technical and customer service.

BASF has formulated Elastollan® to excel in all standard measures of TPU performance. Elastollan's® unique physical qualities include the following:

• It offers increased elastic memory, hydrolytic stability, tear/cut resistance and abrasion resistance, as well as high burst pressure.
• It's naturally anti-blocking and allows for a fast processing cycle.
• It requires little to no internal lubricant.

In addition, Elastollan® is available in a wide range of formulations and hardness (from 50 A to 74 D),
as well as in both polyester- and polyether-based forms.

Polyester-based Elastollan® typically provides:

• Oil/solvent resistance
• Weather (UV) resistance
• Abrasion resistance
• High-temperature resistance
• Particularly excellent mechanical properties
• Plasticizer-free, super-soft grades available

Polyether-based Elastollan® typically offers:
