TPU Filament – TPU 95A
TPU filament – thermoplastic polyurethane – is the most commonly used filament material for the production of flexible and elastic components in the field of additive manufacturing. The TPU 95A filament with a Shore A hardness of 95 is particularly suitable for a wide range of applications due to its durability, wear and abrasion resistance. For example, the TPU filament is ideal for the production of cable sheathing, cell phone covers or as a coating for haptically pleasant surfaces on vehicle interiors. TPU 95A is very flexible and achieves an elongation at break of up to 580% in accordance with DIN EN ISO 527. In terms of processability, the TPU filament enables a faster and simpler printing process. The chemical resistance of TPU 95A is another advantageous property of the TPU material.
