- Low temperature flexibility
- Very good UV stability
- Very good abrasion resistance
- Enhanced flow properties
- Very good hydrolysis and microbial resistance
- Guaranteed easy processing and water tightness
The mentioned properties make many applications possible for Estane 58300 NAT 036 TPU with a better quality of material.
It is ideal for suction and transport hoses, hoses that deliver food liquids and street cleaning vehicles or any applications where microbial resistance is required.
Other potential industrial markets for estane resin include roofing membranes, films and tubes.
