Lubrizol TPU is essential in applications that require strong yet flexible components, such as automotive interior parts, athletic footwear, and consumer electronics. In the automotive sector, TPU is used for manufacturing items like interior trim parts, seals, and gaskets, where its durability is crucial. Specifically designed for seals, Lubrizol provides a series with low compression set. Our Pearlthane 11H resins, designed for high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic seals, offer an extremely short cycle time.

For light-colored or transparent products, such as electronic devices or outdoor applications, Lubrizol offers color-stable aliphatic TPU solutions with excellent weatherability, staining resistance, and rebound performance. These solutions provide a great balance of aesthetic design and high productivity, featuring high flow and low-density properties that make this technology excel.

Additionally, bio-based* ESTANE ECO TPU and mass balance solutions are available as sustainable options.

Lubrizol TPU can be applied via overmolding or 2K molding processes, further enhancing its versatility.
