TPU
Thermoplastic Polyurethane is a rubber-like elastomer with excellent abrasion resistance, flexibility, and impact absorption.
Precision Machined • High Tolerance • Quality Inspected
Overview
About TPU
TPU bridges the gap between rigid plastics and rubber. It can be injection molded, extruded, and 3D printed. Shore hardness ranges from soft and flexible (70A) to firm and tough (95A). Hong Ying Tooling molds and prints TPU for wear pads, seals, grips, protective cases, and flexible hinges with consistent durometer and color matching.
