Bayer MaterialScience Introduces New Aromatic Polyester-Based TPU Resin
"Texin DP7-1197, with a Shore hardness of about 88A, is a general purpose, injection molding-only grade that's ideally suited for tough applications. They include caster wheels, weather seals, and industrial and automotive components," said Gerry DiBattista, Bayer MaterialScience channel manager for TPU injection molding.
The resin's key features include a low compression set even at elevated temperatures as high as 158 degrees Fahrenheit (70° C), excellent wear resistance and overall toughness, including high tensile and tear strength, and very good processing through injection molding.
