Think, create, Elastollan®
Thermoplastic Polyurethane
Elastollan® is the brand name for thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) from BASF. Over the last few decades, the numerous benefits of Elastollan® in all its forms – aromatic or aliphatic, very soft or glass fiber-reinforced, flame retardant or highly transparent – have been clearly demonstrated across every sector of industry.
Key Advantages of Elastollan®
- High wear and abrasion resistance
- High tensile strength and excellent tear resistance
- High resistance against oils, greases, oxygen, and ozone
- Very good low-temperature flexibility
- Very good damping capacity
Elastollan®
Elastollan® is the brand name for thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) from BASF. It stands for maximum reliability, consistent product quality and cost efficiency. Elastollan® can be extruded into hoses, cable sheathing, belts, films and profiles, and can also be processed using blow molding and injection molding technologies.
This extensive product portfolio, which makes use of a variety of raw materials and formulations, is the starting point for successfully bringing innovative customer projects to fruition.
