TPU for high heat applications
U
S-based Huntsman Polyurethanes has developed the first product in a new line of TPUs that offers a broader operating temperature than standard grades.
IROGRAN A92K5031 DP can be extruded or injection moulded to create elastomer components for heavy-duty engineering equipment, engines and hydraulic systems where working conditions may reach up to 130ºC or drop to as low as -40ºC. The material also offers high strength at room temperature, a low compression set at 100ºC and consistent form retention. It is targeted at the manufacture of pneumatic tubes, spiral hoses, timing belts and cable jackets employed in high temperature applications such as automotive brake and engine systems.
