TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is where plastic meets rubber: it melts for easy processing, sets on cooling, and delivers both high strength and remarkable elasticity. It is the material behind flexible films, durable shoe midsoles, soft-touch electronics and countless industrial parts.
The molecular secret: soft and hard segments
TPU is a block copolymer. Wavy soft segments (polyether or polyester) provide flexibility and low-temperature performance, while compact hard segments (urethane) act as anchor points that deliver strength and abrasion resistance. The result is a material that stretches like rubber but processes like plastic.
