      Typical applications<\/p>\n

      Automotive industry<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • External parts:<\/strong> Window seals, fenders, aerodynamic spoilers and protective strips (mainly TPV and TPO).<\/li>\n
      • Vehicle interior:<\/strong> Carpets, steering wheel covers, soft gearshift gaiters and soft buttons on the dashboard.<\/li>\n
      • Under the hood:<\/strong> Air hoses, cable protection bellows and various oil-resistant seals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Widespread consumption and household<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Tool handles:<\/strong> Ergonomic, non-slip handles on screwdrivers, hammers, toothbrushes, razors and kitchen knives (so-called. soft touch<\/em> effect).<\/li>\n
        • Sports equipment:<\/strong> Bicycle handles, diving fins, ski boots and sports shoe soles (high TPU wear resistance).<\/li>\n
        • Electronics housings:<\/strong> Protective cases for smartphones, tablets and rugged industrial devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Medicine and pharmacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Medical devices:<\/strong> Infusion tubes, breathing masks and droppers.<\/li>\n
          • Packaging:<\/strong> Test tube caps, syringe seals and medical bags (due to the possibility of sterilization and the absence of latex).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Construction and industry<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Profiles and seals:<\/strong> Sealing strips for windows and doors that prevent water and air from entering.<\/li>\n
            • Pipe extrusion:<\/strong> Flexible hoses for pneumatics, hydraulics and chemical flow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
