“With Windform TPU, the number of rubber-like materials of the Windform Top-Line range rises to two. We can satisfy much more customers’ needs, as they are two rubber-like SLS materials with different characteristics: Windform RL is a TPE and it is more rigid, whereas Windform TPU is a thermoplastic polyurethane and it is softer, more elastic and more resistant to abrasion,” says Franco Cevolini, CEO and technical director at CRP Technology.

According to the company, Windform TPU is suitable for a variety of applications, including sports equipment, footwear and automotive interior components. The material is also suitable for parts to be used at low temperatures, or that have to be immersed in oils, greases or solvents.
