A global pneumatic tubing producer needed a transparent hard TPU complementary to the existing opaque solution.

Solution

PEARLTHANE 11T98, based on Merquinsa proprietary "Crystal" technology offered unique transparency, easy extrudability combined with high hardness (98 shore A).

Results

Thanks to PEARLTHANE 11T98, MERQUINSA ´s customer has launched a new family of transparent pneumatic tubes with high burst pressure to meet industrial & equipment markets' demand for transparency. Consequently, the lower density of PEARLTHANE (1.16) has allowed the customer to use it also for opaque tubes.
