  7. Thermoplastic polyurethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_polyurethane

    Ester-based TPU in cases where oil and grease resistance is more relevant. When stable light colour and non-yellowing performance are required, aliphatic TPU based on aliphatic isocyanates is used. BASF has pioneered crosslinking during TPU transformation, made possible by adding liquid crosslinkers or using a solid granulated additive masterbatch.
