Wire, Cable, & Electrical Applications
GARATHANE is a urethane alloy, flame retardant compound series used when abrasion resistance and toughness are key requirements, especially in very rugged outdoor applications. These TPU compounds have g​​​Great chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and toughness. ​Non-halogen grades are available. GARATHANE is ideal for applications with moving parts requiring a tough jacket material.
Food Contact and Healthcare Applications
VYTHENE TPU compounds are alloys of vinyl and polyurethane​, formulated with FDA-sanctioned ingredients, and designed for applications requiring higher elongation values (ability to stretch)​. VYTHENE TPU compounds are tough, flexible, transparent and kink resistant. They are ideal for applications exposed to repeated pressure and movement (for example, hemodialysis tubing)​
