Resistance Against
Oil and The resistance against oil and lubricants is in

general good, but through the contact with
additives and unknown substances irreversible
damages can appear. Against ASTM Test oils is

Microbe Resistance
The polyether-based
IROGRAN grades - used in the
cable industry - are resistant
against microbial degradation.
The saponification value
according to DIN 57472 (VDE
472-804) is below 200 mg
KOH/g for ether grades. The
grades meet VDE 0282-10
requirements.

Recycling
TPU Material in theory can be recycled up to levels of 100% however, to obtain good performance a
maximum level of 15% is recommended during day-to-day processing. Levels above this should only
be used if some reduction in final physical properties can be tolerated.
Sprues and rejects can be granulated and re-used. Care must be taken to ensure no contamination
with other materials and the procedure related to drying of the TPU, as described earlier must be
fullfilled.
