Bursting with talent.

TPU-Resins - Bayer MaterialScience

Desmopan® and Texin® (a product line of Bayer MaterialScience LLC, USA) synthetic resins have got what many other materials do not have: an abundance of talent. And these talents can be skillfully combined to make all kinds of innovative products. And as one of the world’s leading global suppliers of TPU, we know how!

Both Desmopan® and Texin® plastics are thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPU). Each combines many of the valuable characteristics of rubber and thermoplastic materials and, on top of that, benefits from the strengths of polyurethane chemistry, which forms its chemical backbone. The trademark of TPUs is their rich variety and their outstanding versatility. Their properties can be adjusted by the modular principle through careful selection of the raw materials. Basically, every one of the talents displayed by Desmopan® and Texin® resins can be tailored to the particular end-use. It is this flexibility that makes each of these TPU materials so innovative.

That’s why our range of materials distances itself from those of competitors through a wide range of properties – product quality for the most demanding of applications.
