PEARLTHANE 11H98 Merquinsa Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer (Polycaprolactone)

Product Description

PEARLTHANE® 11H98 is a high performance polycaprolactone copolyester based TPU, supplied in form of pellets, combining a unique set of properties such as mechanical properties, chemical resistance and processability for very demanding applications such as pneumatic tubing and seals.

PEARLTHANE® 11H98 when extruded is mainly used for tubing (e.g. pneumatic tubing) and profiles.

When processed by injection molding, it can be used for ear tags, seals and a variety of technical parts.
