Generally, thermoplastics have two major disadvantages: low heat resistance when compared to metals and low resistance to chemicals. So what material can we use to produce parts that will be in contact with chemicals or that will be used at temperatures above 212°F (100°C)? The answer is Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)!
Polyurethane (PU) and Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
Polyurethane is the name given to materials produced by the reaction of isocyanates with polyols. I say "materials", in the plural, because polyurethanes are extremely versatile and allow as the manufacturing of hard products as elastomeric/rubbery products and foams/sponges.
