Texin® 490A

Generic Family: Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer (Polyester) • Supplied by: Covestro - PUR
Texin 490A resin is an aromatic polyester-based thermoplastic polyurethane with a Shore hardness of approximately 90A*. It can be processed by injection molding; extrusion processes are not recommended.

Properties / Applications:
Texin 490A resin offers outstanding abrasion resistance, impact strength, toughness and flexibility. It also exhibits excellent fuel and oil resistance, low compression set and good hydrolytic stability. Typical applications include gears, goggle frames, gaskets, seals, bumpers, athletic shoe soles and casters. As with any product, use of Texin 490A resin in a given application must be tested (including field testing, etc.) in advance by the user to determine suitability.
