Chemical Formula for Polyurethane

Grayline can manufacture polyurethane tubing from a wide variety of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) compounds.

Polyurethane tubing is very flexible and extremely tough. It offers great abrasion, fatigue, tear, and kink resistance for demanding applications.

There are two basic types of polyurethane tubing, ester-based and ether-based. Ester-based polyurethane has better chemical resistance to fuels, lubricants and other petroleum based chemicals. However, ether-based is more resistant to moisture while still providing good chemical resistance.
