 TPU is well known for its applications in wire and cable jacketing, hose and tube, in adhesive and textile coating applications, as an impact modifier of other polymers.. Also used in performance films, for example transparent TPU is used in high demanding transparent film applications like high impact resistant glass structures (TPU glass lamination Films)

TPU is the thermoplastic elastomer used in FFD fused filament deposition 3D printing.The absence of warping and the fact no primer is needed, make it ideal for filament 3D printers when objects need to be flexible and elastic.The fact that TPU is a thermoplastic allows those filaments to be melted again by the 3D printer "extrusion" head, and then cooled back into the solid-elastic piece.
