Laripur 8225
Polyester TPU at Shore 83 A with 8500 psi tensile strength. Injection molded sport soles, wheels, screen elements and technical items, with 8225EG for extrusion.
Polyester TPU at Shore 83 A with 8500 psi tensile strength. Injection molded sport soles, wheels, screen elements and technical items, with 8225EG for extrusion.
Laripur 8225 is a polyester based TPU at Shore 83 A. COIM designed the standard version for injection molding of sport soles, wheels, screen elements, masks and technical items, and the 8225EG version for the extrusion of hoses, profiles, transmission belts and film.
Tensile strength is 8500 psi at 600 percent elongation, with a 100 percent modulus of 900 psi and tear strength of 85 N/mm. Abrasion loss is 30 cubic mm by DIN 53516.
The published sheet carries no VICAT softening point. COIM supplied it directly on 13 August 2026: use the Laripur 8025 figure of 163 degrees F, because 8225 and 8025 are the same polymer. They differ only in melt flow index, and COIM states that difference does not move the VICAT.
Choosing between the two is a processing decision rather than a chemistry or service-temperature one: same polymer, different flow. Tell us the process and the tool and we will say which flow suits it.
Order the EG version when the material is going into a die. COIM identifies its extrusion versions with an end code after the grade number, and that code has to be on the purchase order.
It is also written as thermoplastic polyurethane, TPU, polyester TPU, polyester based TPU, and polyester polyurethane.

Typical values from the manufacturer's technical data sheet. They describe the product, they are not a specification. We will send the current TDS and the batch documentation your qualification needs.
Tell us the binder system, the property you are targeting, and the volume you expect. We will confirm the grade, send the documentation, and ship a sample from North American stock.

Extrusion in the 8225EG version.
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 355 degrees F, zone 2 at 365, zone 3 at 375 and the nozzle at 365. The suggested extrusion profile runs zone 1 at 375, zone 2 at 380, zone 3 at 390, zone 4 at 385, adapter 375 and die 365. Machine, screw and downstream equipment all move these, so treat them as a starting point.
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.
Polyester. COIM's data sheet describes it as a polyester based TPU, which is the chemistry with the abrasion and oil resistance and the one to avoid in prolonged hot wet service.
163 degrees F. It is not printed on the 8225 data sheet, so we asked COIM rather than borrow a figure from a sibling grade. COIM confirmed on 13 August 2026 that 8225 and 8025 are the same polymer with a slightly different melt flow index, that the difference does not affect the VICAT, and that the 8025 value applies. We will put that in writing for your qualification file on request.
On flow, not on chemistry. COIM confirms they are the same polymer with a slightly different melt flow index, so service temperature and environmental resistance are the same for both. Tell us the process, the wall section and the tool and we will say which flow suits it. We will send both to trial.
The process. The standard version is for injection molding and 8225EG is the extrusion version, for hose, profile, transmission belt and film. The EG code has to be on the order when you need the extrusion version.
9025, at Shore 90 A against 83 A here, in the same polyester chemistry. 9025 also carries a higher 300 percent modulus, 3400 psi against 2190 psi.
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.
