Estane® ZHF 93AM9 NAT 02
Estane ZHF 93AM9 NAT 02 is a non-halogen flame retardant thermoplastic polyurethane based on an aromatic co-polyether TPU structure. The material is developed for extrusion applications where flame retardancy and very high mechanical strength are required.
This TPU grade delivers outstanding mechanical performance including high tensile strength, excellent tear resistance and strong durability under mechanical stress. The zero-halogen flame retardant formulation supports safer material design while maintaining the flexibility and processing advantages typical for thermoplastic polyurethane materials.
Key Features:
- Non-halogen flame retardant TPU
- Aromatic co-polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethane
- Very high mechanical strength and tear resistance
- Good abrasion resistance
- High tensile strength and durability
- Designed for extrusion processing
Processing Form:
- Extrusion
Processing Notes:
Prior to processing, the material should be dried at approximately 100°C for 3–4 hours in a vacuum or dehumidifying dryer to maintain moisture levels below recommended limits and ensure stable extrusion processing.
Purpose:
Flame Retardant
Application:
Used for extruded TPU components requiring flame retardancy and very high mechanical durability such as cable jackets, technical profiles, industrial tubing and structural flexible parts.
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.
