Home Products COIM Laripur 7711

Laripur 7711 is a high modulus engineering thermoplastic polyurethane at Shore 77 D, the hardest grade in this catalog. COIM lists it for injection and extrusion of technical items.

There is no soft segment. COIM confirmed it directly on 13 August 2026: the grade has no soft segment at all, which is why the data sheet names no polyester, polyether or caprolactone.

A conventional TPU is a block copolymer, a flexible soft segment alternating with a rigid hard segment, and the soft segment is what gives an elastomer its stretch and its rebound. Laripur 7711 is built without one, so it is a rigid engineering polymer that happens to be a polyurethane.

The flexural modulus is 320000 psi and tear strength is 230 N/mm, with a 50 percent tensile modulus of 9000 psi. Elongation at break is 130 percent, so this material is used as a rigid structural plastic rather than as an elastomer. Abrasion loss is 150 cubic mm by DIN 53516, well above the elastomeric grades, which is the trade for the stiffness.

COIM publishes a notched impact figure of 5.3 kJ per square m at minus 4 degrees F and a VICAT softening point of 195 degrees F.

It is also written as thermoplastic polyurethane, TPU, engineering TPU, and engineering thermoplastic polyurethane.

Applications

Structural technical parts

COIM's stated use, by injection or extrusion.

Rigid moldings

Flexural modulus of 320000 psi.

High tear parts

Tear strength of 230 N/mm.

Cold service parts

Notched impact of 5.3 kJ per square m at minus 4 degrees F.

Handling and dispersion

Dry before processing at 175 to 195 degrees F for 3 hours, preferably in a dehumidifying drier fed by air with a dew point below minus 22 degrees F. Skipping the drying step is the most common cause of splay and bubbles in a TPU part.

COIM's suggested molding profile runs zone 1 at 430 degrees F, zone 2 at 440, zone 3 at 445 and the nozzle at 400. Machine, screw and downstream equipment all move these, so treat them as a starting point. The nozzle runs well below the barrel on this grade, which is unusual and is what COIM's sheet specifies.

Packaging, storage, and regulatory status

Package sizes: 25 kg bags, or 500 kg and 1000 kg octabins.

Storage: Six months from the date of delivery, in the original sealed packaging, in a dry well ventilated place out of direct sun.

COIM does not consider the product dangerous. Read the safety data sheet before handling.

Frequently asked questions

Is Laripur 7711 polyester or polyether?

Neither. COIM confirmed on 13 August 2026 that the grade has no soft segment at all, so there is no polyester, polyether or caprolactone block in it to name. The data sheet calls it an engineering polymer. Every other Laripur grade in this catalog is a block copolymer with a soft segment; this one is not.

Is this still a TPU?

It is a thermoplastic polyurethane and it behaves as a rigid engineering plastic, because it has no soft segment to give it rebound. Elongation at break is 130 percent against 600 percent or more for the Shore A grades, and the flexural modulus is 320000 psi. Specify it where a part needs stiffness and tear resistance, not where it needs to stretch and recover.

Why is the abrasion loss so high?

150 cubic mm by DIN 53516, against 30 to 50 for the elastomeric grades. Hard TPU does not have the rubbery recovery that gives a soft TPU its abrasion performance. If wear is the duty, a Shore A grade will outlast this one.

What is the next grade down?

Laripur 71D60 at Shore 70 D, a PTMG polyether with a much lower abrasion loss of 50 cubic mm and a published cold impact figure, or Laripur 72D25 at Shore 67 D in polyester.

Can I get the TDS and SDS for Laripur 7711?

Yes. We send the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) on request, in the manufacturer's current revision. Use Request TDS or SDS above and tell us what your qualification review needs.
