TPU Ravathane® - Thermoplastic Polyurethanes

High-Performance and Versatile Elastomers

Produced by Ravago, TPU Ravathane® is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) block copolymer formed by the reaction of iso-cyanates and diols. These elastomers are available in both polyester-based and polyether-based variants, offering a wide range of properties suitable for diverse applications.

Key Features of TPU Ravathane®:

• Polyester-based hardness from 65 Shore A to 55 Shore D
• Polyether-based hardness from 95 Shore A to 65 Shore D
• Excellent abrasion resistance
• High elasticity
• High tensile and tear strength
• Oil resistance
• Excellent low-temperature properties
   

TPU Ravathane® can be used in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 80°C, with some grades capable of withstanding up to 120°C short-term. Polyether-based TPUs are particularly suited for applications requiring excellent hydrolysis and microbial resistance.

Typical Applications of TPU Ravathane®:

• Consumer: Shoe soles, phone cases
• Automotive: Under the hood and suspension applications such as shock absorbers, bushings, as well as interior and exterior parts
• Industrial & Construction: Conveyor and drive belts, durable wheels, rollers, hoses, sheets, film road cones, and delineators, tiles
• Electronics: Cable jacketing, housings
• Agriculture: Tubing, cattle ear tags
