It can be vacuum-formed or solution coated. TPU is suitable for a wide variety of fabrication methodologies.

   TPU can be colored. It has to go through a number of processes for the coloring to take place but the coloring is better than any other thermoplastic elastomer.

    There are a number of physical property combinations making the product very flexible and adaptable to dozens of uses. This is mainly because Thermoplastic polyurethane is considered to be a linear segmented block copolymer that is composed of hard and soft segments. The hard segment is either aliphatic or aromatic. The soft segment is either a polyether or polyester type.

   It has a unique structure that allows for greater versatility and has high resilience, good compression set, resistance to impacts, tears, abrasions, weather and hydrocarbons.

   Thermoplastic polyurethane does not use plasticizers. The material gap is bridged between rubbers and plastics with TPU. It can be used as both a hard rubber and a soft engineering thermoplastic.
