Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) combines the characteristics of rubber and plastic, resulting in a soft yet durable material. Its strong interlayer bonding enhances its resistance to chemicals, making it highly resistant to industrial oils and corrosive substances. Despite being semi-flexible, TPU is widely used for functional prototypes, sleeves, guides, and protective cases.
