BASF launches a new ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane: Elastollan 1400.

The new TPU series provides exceptional hydrolysis and microbe resistance and combines stable processing behavior with good compression set properties. The material delivers outstanding burst pressure performance and can be processed by extrusion and injection molding. The aging stability of Elastollan 1400 ensures long-lasting performance – a versatile option for a wide range of applications.

The 1400 series offers unique dynamic properties originated from a discrete glass transition temperature (Tg) and an extended viscoelastic plateau. These features contribute to improved dimensional stability and a wide thermal application range.

After more than two years of research, experimental grades for specific applications and processing technologies are available for sampling. Customers and interested prospects are invited to explore these new grades further and experience the product's performance firsthand.
