Renowned for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to oil, grease, and abrasion, TPU offers an alternative to natural leather. Additionally, TPUs with a high percentage of renewable materials are always available and ensure excellent performance. They are vegan and produced without the use of animal-derived raw materials. Moreover the recyleability of TPU is an eco-concious choice for manufacturers. A TPU nonwoven as a carrier material for TPU-based artificial leather, which improves recyclability and reuse, is an interesting innovation. The TPU nonwovens can be tailored to the individual nees of industrial partners.
