Elastollan 1154D53 BASF TPU Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer (Polyether)

Product Description

Elastollan® 1154D53 is a polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). It exhibits excellent abrasion resistance, toughness, transparency, low temperature properties, hydrolytic stability, and fungus resistance. Elastollan® 1154D53 is conforming to the FDA food contact section, book 21, section 177.2600. As with all TPU products, Elastollan® 1154D53 must be dried before processing. The drying step is required to maintain a low moisture content until the product enters the processing equipment. The water content must be less than 0.03% before and during processing. The typical drying conditions should be 2-4 hours @ 195°-220°F (90°-105°C). Elastollan® 1154D53 can be stored for up to 1 year in its original container. Containers should be stored in a cool and dry area.
