Standard IS 17397 : Part 1 : 2022
description Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) are a class of versatile plastics renowned for their exceptional properties, including high elasticity, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and durability. The designation system and specifications for TPU encompass a range of criteria that define their physical and mechanical characteristics, aiding in their selection and application in moulding and extrusion processes. Typically, TPU grades are designated by a combination of letters and numbers representing specific properties such as hardness, tensile strength, and elongation at break. Its specifications include parameters related to thermal stability, resistance to environmental factors, and specific end-use requirements. These designation systems and specifications serve as vital guidelines for manufacturers and designers to choose the most suitable TPU grade for various applications, ranging from automotive components and footwear to medical devices and industrial machinery components.
