TPU BASF 1185A10 Series

TPU BASF 1185A10 is high‑performance thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. It highlights flame‑retardant performance (some variants are halogen‑free flame retardant) and balanced mechanical properties. Depending on grades, core features cover halogen‑free flame retardancy, good mechanical strength and hydrolysis resistance.

Main Applications

Automotive: seals, dust‑boots, interior parts, charging cable jackets. Electrical & electronic: cable jackets, plugs, connectors. Food & medical: drinking‑water pipes, food‑contact packaging, medical catheters. Sports & leisure: ski‑boots, shoe soles, protective gears. Industrial products: conveyor belts, seals, gears, films.
