Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPU)
Bayer's thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) resins are most frequently used in athletic footwear, and, specifically, as a soling material. For example, used as the outsole and stud material on a soccer shoe, the unique benefits of Bayer's Texin® and
Desmopan® TPU resins provide high elasticity and resilience, high tensile and tear strength and excellent abrasion resistance. The resins then go the extra mile by offering the additional benefits of hydrolytic stability (water resistance) and fast cycle times. This is why TPU resin is a contender in the sport shoe market, where toughness, flexibility and the ability to perform well when exposed to harsh environmental elements, including dirt and water, are required.
