Rev. 20160111 (ALL)TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Properties of all thermoplastic polyurethane products in the molten state are adversely affected by moisture. For best results, always dry
the material at least two hours at 65.5°C (150°F) or overnight at 54.4°C (130°F) in a machine mounted dehumidifying dryer (a desiccantdryer delivering air at 1 liter/sec/ kg at -40°C dew point (1 cfm/lb at -40°F dew point)). A dehumidifying dryer hopper or one shot loader isalso recommended. Depending on the applied processing technique, the maximum moisture level should be 0.05%. Never exceed 500°F(270°C) melt temperature!
Processing Conditions:•Tecoflex® TPU’s can be processed on any conventional extruder or molder.
