What is TPU?
TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane. It is a type of
thermoplastic elastomer. Hence, it is elastic and melt-processable. It has many
favorable properties such as elasticity, transparency, resistance towards oils
and abrasion resistance. TPU is a form of block copolymer (contains soft and
hard segments).
Main Difference – TPE vs TPU
Thermoplastic elastomers or TPE are polymer materials that
are elastomers, but they are not thermosets like normal elastomers. These are
thermoplastics. Hence, these materials do not need any curing or vulcanization
processes. TPU stands for thermoplastic polyurethane, and it is a form of TPE.
TPU has more improved properties than other TPE materials. The main difference
between TPE and TPU is that TPE burns with a faint aroma whereas TPU burns with
an irritating odor.
