Product Description
Elastollan® 1185A10U is a polyether-based UV stabilized, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). It is specifically formulated for extruded profile, sheet and film applications. It exhibits excellent abrasion resistance, toughness, transparency, low temperature properties, hydrolytic stability, and fungus resistance. As with all TPU products, Elastollan® 1185A10U 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 @ 175°-195°F (80°-90°C). Elastollan® 1185A10U can be stored for up to 1 year in its original container. Containers should be stored in a cool and dry area.
