- High tensile strength (49 MPa)
- Excellent elongation (420%)
- High tear strength (76 kN/m nicked, 98 kN/m un-nicked)
- Excellent abrasion resistance (25 mm³)
- Vicat softening point: 95°C
- Aromatic TPU grade for extrusion
Processing Form:
- Extrusion
Processing Notes:
Prior to processing, Estane® TS 85AP3 NAT 024 should be dried at 90°C for 3–4 hours using a dehumidifying dryer. Recommended dew point should be −40°C. Typical extrusion temperatures range from approximately 190°C to 200°C depending on processing conditions.
Purpose:
Application:
Used for durable extruded components requiring high mechanical strength, tear resistance and abrasion resistance.
Delivery Form:
Pellets
Key Sustainability Features of Estane TPU
Bio-Based Content
The Estane ECO TPU series incorporates renewable materials, with bio-based content ranging from 20% to 69%, certified according to ASTM D6866.
Biomass Balance Approach
The Estane RNW TPU line utilizes mass-balanced biomass feedstocks, reducing reliance on fossil-based sources while maintaining the quality and performance of standard petroleum-based resins.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Implementing sustainable feedstocks in Estane RNW TPU products has achieved up to a 59% reduction in product carbon footprint, contributing to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Performance Consistency
TPUs deliver the same high-quality performance as traditional TPUs, ensuring that sustainability enhancements do not compromise material integrity.
