Thermoplastic polyurethanes.A brochure titled, "Desmopan and Texin--high-tech thermoplastic A polymer material that turns to liquid when heated and becomes solid when cooled. There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene. polyurethanes set trends," details the variety of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPUs) the company offers, new TPU TPU - Text Processing Utility resins under development and TPU business unit customer services. Desmopan and Texin resins are said to bridge the gap between plastics and rubber, combining the processing efficiencies of TPU resins with the physical properties of elastomers. The resins, available in polyester- and polyether-based and polyurethane blend formulations, are used in products serving medical, industrial, consumer, sports and automotive applications. The company tailors the resins to specific end uses through the selection of raw materials to meet demanding product applications. These include abrasion abrasion /abra·sion/ (ah-bra´zhun) 1. a rubbing or scraping off through unusual or abnormal action; see also planing. 2. a rubbed or scraped area on skin or mucous membrane. , weather, wear, and chemical and mechanical resistance. The brochure describes softer, more flexible and plasticizer-free grades and more. (Bayer MaterialScience Bayer MaterialScience (BMS) is an independent subgroup within Bayer AG.
