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

TPU Ravathane® is produced by Ravago Manufacturing in Turkey and Germany. The grade portfolio services both injection moulding and extrusion markets, offering tailor-made products to meet specific needs.
