PEARLTHANE 16N85UV Merquinsa Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer (Polyether)

Product Description

PEARLTHANE® 16N85UV is a polyether based TPU, containing an anti-UV additive, supplied in form of translucent, colorless pellets, which offers superior hydrolysis resistance and improved extrusion processing. It is ideally used for applications where excellent microbial resistance and flexibility are required, such as cables and special hoses. It can be easily extruded and injection molded.

PEARLTHANE® 16N8UV is widely used for making special cables, tubing and profiles where flexibility and excellent hydrolysis-microbial resistance are required. Furthermore, it can be injected for making special technical parts.
