Bio TPU from Lubrizol Engineered Polymers is a revolutionary line of bio-based* thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) that is made with renewable-sourced material. Bio TPU by Lubrizol provides the same performance as traditional petroleum-based TPU and can range in hardness from 82 Shore A to 55 Shore D. They can be processed via injection molding and extrusion and have multiple benefits, such as:

-        Superior chemical, high temperature and abrasion resistance
-        Low density and transparency
-        Cold temperature flexibility
-        UV and hydrolysis resistance
