Processes

Estane® TPU has a broad product portfolio of solutions for the injection molding industry. We have expanded our polyether molding family for applications requiring greater hydrolysis resistance, fungus resistance, or lower temperature flexibility.

EstaGrip® TPE was introduced to the marketplace setting a new standard for premium overmolding "Soft-Touch" performance, when you can’t afford to fail. In addition, we offer a General Purpose (GP) series of products with basic TPU performance characteristics (AE series) and an upgraded hydrolysis-resistant line (AB series) still outperforming traditional thermoplastic elastomers.

When dimensional stability, increased stiffness, and aesthetics are required for tough abusive applications, Estaloc® RETP provides a balance of properties unmatched by other polymer systems.
