Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) was invented by Lubrizol in 1959, and branded ESTANE^® TPU, while the company was still called BF Goodrich. Since TPU's invention, Lubrizol has continued to innovate the material, creating the first Non-Halogenated Flame Retardant TPU and the first Static Dissipative TPU. As the inventor of TPU, no company can match Lubrizol's experience, knowledge or TPU product portfolio. Our recent developments include biomass balance TPU, read more about it here.

Lubrizol has a strong history of partnering with customers to maximize their success. Lubrizol's technical expertise and TPU knowledge stands apart by helping customers realize the full potential of TPU, optimizing processing and customizing materials to suit specific needs.
