TPU

We use TPU 95A, which is rubber-like and highly flexible. It can be stretched 300-600% without permanent deformation and returns to its original shape. Keep in mind that the perceived flexibility depends on the geometry, wall thickness, and overall dimensions of your part — small or thick-walled parts will feel more rigid, while larger, thin-walled designs will be noticeably flexible.

TPU excels at flexible parts, phone cases, protective bumpers, gaskets, seals, shoe insoles, watch bands, and any application requiring elasticity and shock absorption. Its rubber-like properties make it perfect for parts that need to grip, cushion, or flex during use.

Absolutely! TPU has excellent weather resistance with superior UV stability and temperature tolerance (-40°C to 80°C). It resists oils, greases, and many chemicals. TPU is perfect for outdoor seals, protective covers, weatherproof enclosures, and parts exposed to the elements.

TPU is extremely durable with exceptional abrasion resistance, tear resistance, and impact resistance. It outlasts most rigid materials in high-wear applications. TPU phone cases can withstand years of daily drops and impacts, and gaskets maintain their seal through thousands of compression cycles.

Customizing TPU is challenging because most paints crack when the material flexes. For best results, choose your desired color during ordering. If you need custom colors, flexible fabric paints or vinyl paints can work, but the color selection during production provides the best durability.

TPU provides shock absorption, vibration dampening, and grip that rigid materials can't match. It's perfect for protective cases, cushioning, wearables, and seals. While rigid materials like ABS or Nylon are strong, TPU's flexibility allows it to absorb impacts and compress repeatedly without breaking or losing shape.
