Elastollan 1185A10V (Film) BASF TPU Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer (Polyether)

Product Description

Elastollan® 1185A10V (Film) is a polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with an MFI value of 21-40 (at 190°C/21.6 kg). It is specifically formulated for sheet and film applications. It exhibits excellent abrasion resistance, toughness, transparency, low temperature properties, hydrolytic stability and fungus resistance. Elastollan® 1185A10V (Film) also conforms to the FDA food contact section, book 21, section 177.2600. As with all TPU products, Elastollan® 1185A10V (Film) must be dried before processing. The drying step is required to both dry the granules and also maintain a low moisture content until the product enters the processing equipment. The water content must be less than 0.03% before processing. The typical drying conditions should be 2-4 hours @ 175°-195°F (80°-90°C). Elastollan® 1185A10V (Film) can be stored for up to 1 year in its original container. Containers should be stored in a cool and dry area.
