The company is distributing the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer Elastollan® in central, western and southern Europe now on the basis of an exclusive distribution agreement. Elastollan, which can be used in virtually any area of industry, is the perfect addition to the international plastics distributor’s extensive product portfolio.
As well as Ester and Ether TPUs, the company supplies light-resistant aliphatic types and innovative products with various hardnesses from Shore A 35 to D 83.
