HPU Thermoplastic Polyurethane

Formulated of copolymers of ether or ester based urethanes, this material is used in a wide application of seals, wipers, back-up rings, cushions, bumpers, and a myriad of other uses. Highly resistant to oil swell, ozone, oxidation and abrasion, it also has excellent cut resistance. Highly resilient, urethanes also have high tensile strength and elongation properties. Urethanes remain an excellent choice in hydraulic systems using petroleum based fluids. Most urethane seals remain flexible and efficient in temperatures ranging from -65° F to +200° F with some able to withstand intermittent temperatures up to +300° F.

  • High-impact urethane
  • Simulates ABS and PC/ABS
  • Good heat resistance
  • Ruggedized covers and skins
  • Medical Equipment
  • Scientific instruments
  • Consumer Electronics
  • Electronic Controllers

HPU is a thermoplastic polyurethane (water resistant) that is suitable for use in high pressure hydraulic sealing applications. The material is extremely wear and extrusion resistant. This compound has been stabilized to prevent deterioration in water based fluids and therefore is suitable in hydraulic applications where water and water based fluids are being used.
This material is FDA Approved (FDA CFR 21-177.2600 Compliant)
