TPU 88A is a soft, flexible and durable industrial elastomer.

 

TPU 88A (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a flexible material used in additive manufacturing, particularly in FDM 3D printing and sometimes in SLS depending on the variant. With a Shore hardness of 88A, it falls within an intermediate range of flexibility, offering a good compromise between elasticity and mechanical strength.

 

This material can withstand significant deformation while returning to its original shape, making it particularly suitable for parts subjected to repeated bending or impact. It also exhibits good resistance to abrasion, oils, and certain chemicals. TPU 88A is widely used in the manufacture of functional parts requiring comfort, shock absorption, or structural flexibility, while maintaining long-term durability.
