PEARLTHANE 15N95UV Merquinsa Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer (Polyether)

Product Description

PEARLTHANE® 15N95UV is a UV-resistant polyether copolymer based TPU, supplied in form of translucent, colourless pellets, combining hardness with excellent mechanical properties and excellent hydrolysis resistance. It can be extruded and injection-moulded.

PEARLTHANE® 15N95UV can be used for high performance animal ear tags and a variety of technical parts for outdoor use. When extruded, it can be used for tubing and profiles.

To improve the microbiological protection of PEARLTHANE® 15N95UV, it is necessary to add a biocide, preferably in form of TPU-based masterbatch.
