Texin® is an aromatic polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). It bonds readily to provide a soft-touch feel. It has high elasticity, excellent low-temperature impact strength and flexibility over a wide temperature range. It is easy to color.

Thermoplastic polyurethanes allow for very thin gauges while maintaining strength and properties. They can withstand as much as four times the radiation that other plastics than withstand and have better burst strength.
