Product Description
PEARLTHANE® 11T85UV is a UV resistant polycaprolactone copolyester based TPU, supplied in form of translucent, colourless pellets, featuring adequate hardness with excellent flow and mechanical properties. It can be injection-molded and coextruded.

PEARLTHANE® 11T85UV when processed by injection moulding, can be used for making shoe soles, screens (mining ind.), automotive parts, etc.

PEARLTHANE® 11T85UV when processed by coextrusion, can be used for making wire-bond hoses (thanks to its excellent adhesion to flexible PVC) and a variety of technical components.
