What hardness range is available for TPU?

TPU spans 60 Shore A (soft as a pencil eraser) to 75 Shore D (hard as a skateboard wheel). The polyester-based grades offer better oil/chemical resistance; polyether-based grades offer better hydrolysis resistance for medical and underwater applications.

TPU bridges der gap zwischen rubber und plastic — offering rubber-wie elasticity mit thermoplastic processability. Used für telefon cases, footwear soles, cable jacketing, und medical tubing.

Propprose Processability Score (PPS): 7/10 (Mäßig) — Based ein melt temperature, shrinkage, und processing window. Materials scoring 8+ require specialized hoch-temperature ausrüstung und experienced molders. Dies ist ein comparative index; actual processability depends ein teil geometry und werkzeug design.
