Compare Zythane® to Elastollan®,Texin®, Desmopan® and Estane®

What makes Zythane® TPUs so popular, and so much in demand by designers, processors and marketers? 

Zythane® thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) are:

• tough and durable - unparalleled with their abrasion resistance
• well suited for both soft and rigid applications
• lightweight, especially as a metal replacement
• provided with good elasticity properties
• offer good color stability with UV additives
• formulated for applications calling for good-to-excellent transparency
• recyclable
• available in a wide range of hardnesses, from 60 Shore A to 75 Shore D
• excellent for low temperature flexibility and fatigue resistance
• cut and tear resistant
• hydrolytically stable and naturally antimicrobial for polyether-based grades
• excellent for adhering to many different substrates (by overmolding)
• oil, grease, fuel, solvent and chemical resistant
• resistant to creep in load bearing applications
• available in halogen and non-halogen FR (fire retardant) grades
• easy to process in injection molding and extrusion
• substantial cost savings
