Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is a versatile and flexible elastomer that bridges the gap between rubber and plastic, offering a unique combination of flexibility, strength, and durability. TPU is widely valued for its ability to maintain elasticity while providing excellent resistance to abrasion, impact, and environmental factors like oils, chemicals, and UV exposure.
TPU offers superior elasticity and longevity and due to its durability and resistance properties, TPU is an ideal choice for applications that require both strength and flexibility. One of the advantages of TPU is that it can be recycled, reused, and reprocessed into new products, making it a more sustainable material compared to traditional thermoset plastics. Ideal for use as glove tensioners – support accessories used to ensure a snug and secure fit of cut-resistant or metal mesh gloves, commonly worn for hand protection during meat processing and butchering. Available in a range of colours and widths, subject to specification.
Suitable for a range of protective garments:
- Industrial aprons and chemical-resistant garments
- Food Industry: environments where hygiene and safety are essential
- Meat processing and packing industry
- Medical Industry: Protective medical gowns and aprons
- Glove tensioners: support accessories used to ensure a snug and secure fit of cut-resistant or metal mesh gloves, commonly worn for hand protection during meat processing and butchering.
