BASF Elastollan® 1185A Polyether Type Polyurethane Elastomer

Subcategory: Elastomer, TPE; Polymer; Polyurethane, TP; Thermoplastic

Key Words: TPU Rubbers

Material Notes:
Processed by extrusion or injection molding. Elastollan ® 1100 series products are FDA Sec. 177.2600 compliant. Elastollan 1100 series of products are polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethanes. They exhibit excellent low temperature properties, hydrolysis resistance and fungus resistance. These products can be injection and blow molded and extruded.

As with all TPU products this grade must be dried prior to processing.

Property values below are typical values based on test samples cured 20 hours at 100°C before testing. Information provided by BASF Corporation.
