Our TPU-Center is the place to go for comprehensive know-how and solutions from the world of thermoplastic polyurethanes. Here you will find all the information you need on products, applications and technologies, as well as examples of innovations and extensive literature from the TPU Business Unit of Bayer MaterialScience.

Desmopan^® and Texin^® plastics are thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPUs). Each combines many of the valuable characteristics of rubber and thermoplastic materials and, on top of that, benefits from the strengths of polyurethane chemistry, which forms its chemical backbone. The trademark of TPUs is their rich variety and their outstanding versatility. Their properties can be adjusted by the modular principle through careful selection of the raw materials. Basically, every one of the talents displayed by Desmopan^® and Texin^® resins can be tailored to the particular end-use. It is this flexibility that makes each of these TPU materials so innovative. That’s why our range of materials stands out from the competition by offering a broad spectrum of properties – product quality for the most demanding of applications.
