TPU
Thermoplastic Polyurethane
Gaskets · Grips · Dampers
A firm, rubber-like elastomer for parts that bend, compress, grip, or seal — Shore 95A, so it flexes without going soft.
FDMTPURedGoPro Case
SECTION · 01
Strengths
& uses
When the part needs to behave like rubber — sealing, gripping, absorbing, or flexing under load. Softer durometers are available on request.
Strengths
- Shore 95A — firm and rubber-like
- Abrasion and tear resistant
- Resists oils and grease — acids and alkalis are its weak spot
- Compresses and springs back
Common applications
- Gaskets and seals
- Soft-touch grips
- Vibration dampers
- Protective bumpers
