Covestro Texin® 4215 Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPU)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyurethane, TP
Material Notes:	Characterization: Texin 4215 resin is a blend of polyester-based polyurethane and polycarbonate. This aromatic grade has a Shore hardness of approximately 75D*. It can be processed by injection molding or extrusion. Properties / Applications: Texin 4215 resin offers high impact strength, and high stiffness, as well as excellent low-temperature properties. Typical applications include automotive cladding, fascia, bumpers, and a wide variety of injection molded and extruded articles. As with any product, use of Texin 4215 resin in a given application must be tested (including but not limited to field testing) in advance by the user to determine suitability.
