Footwear
WANTHANE
® thermoplastic polyurethane grades from Wanhua exhibit good UV resistance, excellent mechanical performance, and low temperature flexibility and effectively help in eliminating the problem of abrasion, yellowing and weathering, thus increasing the durability of footwear.
The shore hardness of WANTHANE
® TPU resins can be as low as 55A without compromising the benefits like soft touch feel and short cycle time enabling manufacturers to produce outsoles and uppers of casual shoes. These TPU resins also exhibit high transparency and ease of printing and coloring.
As an alternative to petroleum-based thermoplastic polyurethane resins, our environment-friendly WANTHANE
® WHT-ECO grades enable the sustainable development of various parts of the footwear. These eco-friendly thermoplastic resins are
pollution-free and can also be recycled, lowering the environmental footprint.
Automotive
Wanhua Chemical Group continues to innovate thermoplastic material solutions for the automotive industry.
Their polyester-based thermoplastic polyurethane grades under the brand name of WANTHANE
® offer excellent mechanical properties, outstanding abrasion resistance, short cycle time and shore hardness ranging from 80A to 72D.
These TPUs are widely used in automotive interior/ exterior applications including IP skins, door panels, gear shift knobs, tambour doors, under-the-hood transmission mounts, isolators, and more.
HEALTHCARE
