Covestro Texin® 950LW Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPU)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyurethane, TP
Material Notes:	Characterization: Texin 950LW resin is an aromatic polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethane. It can be processed by injection molding, extrusion or blow molding. Properties / Applications: Texin 950LW offers outstanding abrasion resistance, impact strength, toughness, and flexibility. It also exhibits excellent hydrolytic stability. Texin 950LW natural color resin complies with FDA food-contact regulations 21 CFR 177.1680 (Polyurethane Resins) and 177.2600 (Rubber Articles Intended for Repeated Use), subject to the limitations of these and any other applicable regulations. Typical applications include gaskets, hose, tubing, shoe inserts, connectors, belting and miscellaneous molded articles. As with any product, use of Texin 950LW resin in a given application must be tested (including field testing, etc.) in advance by the user to determine suitability. Information provided by Covestro
