Agriculture and Mechanical
Engineering
Traditional applications for Desmopan® and Texin® TPUs
in industry and mechanical engineering include:
- rollers for
transport trucks
- seals and gaskets
- conveyor rolls
- screen elements
for ore extraction
- sliding protective rings for steel cables of diamond saws
For such injection-molded
parts, our thermoplastic polyurethanes provide outstanding wear
resistance, dynamic load-bearing resistance, and damping properties.
Soft touch and a good grip are also key requirements for
plastic machine handles and can be achieved using Desmopan or
Texin TPUs. 
Helping Farmers
Sow and Harvest
Farm equipment such
as harrows and picking prongs are made of thermoplastic polyurethance.
There is also a growing demand for animal marking tags made from
Desmopan and Texin TPUs.
New material
properties, new opportunities
Desmopan and Texin TPUs
are being used in innovative applications such as the construction
of machinery and apparatus. Features for these applications
include good drop test performance and integral hinge capability.
More Flexible
and Plasticizer-free
New, more flexible grades
of Desmopan have only a 60-80 Shore A hardness value and are free
of plasticizers. This was achieved without any significant
compromise on wear or abrasion properties. These grades
include Texin DP7-1199 and Desmopan
DP 6065A.
Possible applications
for these grades include spring elements, integral hinges, molded-in
sealing kips, impact strips and bellows. Because of their
soft-touch properties, these grades are also suitable for overmolding
plastic grips and handles and adhere well to many thermoplastics.
