TPU Polycaprolactone for Seals, Gaskets and Other Demanding Applications

ROMULUS, Mich. - March 10, 2015 - PRLog -- APS Elastomers is working with Huntsman Corporation’s Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPU) division to promote a recently extended range of polycaprolactone-based TPU grades that are ideal for high temperature, industrial applications.

Marketed under the IROGRAN® brand, Huntsman’s high performance K-series TPUs offer customers good processability and an excellent compression set at elevated temperatures. Ideal for use in heavy-duty engineering equipment, engines and hydraulic systems, this special portfolio of TPUs can withstand a wide range of temperatures from sub-zero conditions to environments where heat exceeds 100°C.

Excellent wear resistance against oils, grease, and elevated temperatures, means the TPUs are particularly well suited to the high performance injection molding of seals, gaskets, wheels and rollers, and other demanding applications.

Recently, the performance envelope of the polycaprolactone range has been extended to include a superior ability to mold products. Additionally, for added flexibility, a range of different hardness is also available for customers. Distributed through APS Elastomers, the K-series products are available in both granule and pellet form.

Huntsman and APS Elastomers are committed to providing on-going technical support, problem-solving and product development services to designers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and processors.  APS Elastomers also provides expedited shipment and full laboratory services.
