Thermoplastic polyurethane resin from North American stock, in polyester, polyether and caprolactone chemistries from Shore A 66 to Shore D 77. We supply the COIM Laripur TPU range and Sipol Sipolprene TPC-ET copolyester elastomer for parts that run hotter than a TPU handles.
We stock thermoplastic polyurethane in warehouses across the United States and ship throughout the US, Canada and Mexico. Many stocked grades ship the next business day, and samples typically go out the same business day with the data sheet attached. For commercial volumes we also arrange direct container shipments from the plant.
Minimum order quantities vary by grade. Most stocked items are available by the bag or the pallet for a qualification run, and larger volumes are quoted by truckload or container. Tell us the grade and the annual volume you are planning and we will confirm current availability, the minimum and the lead time.
If you are qualifying a second source or moving off another TPU brand, we match by hardness, chemistry type and processing profile. Cross-references are available on request. Sourcing Laripur TPU in North America covers how that works in practice.
Send the hardness, the chemistry if you know it, the process and the volume. We will confirm the grade, what ships from stock, and the lead time on the rest.
Request a QuoteThermoplastic polyurethane is the elastomer that sits between rubber and rigid plastic. It gives you the abrasion resistance, elasticity, and toughness of a cured rubber with the clean melt processing of a thermoplastic, so the same material can be injection molded, extruded, or blown into film without a vulcanization step.
P.A.T. Products is the North American distributor for COIM's Laripur TPU. Laripur covers the full hardness spectrum in one consistent product family, from soft Shore A grades for seals and flexible tube up to rigid Shore D grades for wear parts and structural components.
The grade that fits your part depends on two choices: the chemistry type and the hardness. Both are covered below, and our technical team will narrow it with you. For the full selection sequence, from chemistry through documentation, see the TPU buyer's guide.
TPU is built on a soft segment that sets its environmental resistance. The three families behave differently, and picking the right one is usually more important than fine-tuning hardness.
The strongest on abrasion, mechanical performance, and resistance to oils, fuels, and heat. The extrusion and wear-part workhorse. Long-term exposure to hot water or steam is its weak point.
The strongest on hydrolysis resistance, low-temperature flexibility, and microbial resistance. The choice for wet, cold, buried, or long-immersion service and many dynamic seals.
A polyester type that keeps most of the mechanical strength while improving hydrolysis resistance. A middle path for demanding seals and parts that see both wear and moisture.
For a fuller walk-through of the trade-offs, see polyester vs polyether TPU: choosing by environment.
Hardness sets stiffness, sealing force, and wear behavior. Softer grades flex and seal; harder grades hold shape and resist gouging. The grades listed further down this page run from Shore A 66 on Laripur 6518 to Shore D 77 on Laripur 7711, so you can hold one supplier across a family of parts.
Two grades at the same durometer can behave very differently depending on chemistry. We cover how to read it in the versatility of TPU: durometers and their impact on innovation.
Soft to medium grades for dynamic seals, gaskets, and back-up rings that need chemical resistance, compression-set recovery, and long service life.
TPU for seals →Abrasion- and flex-fatigue-resistant grades for industrial hose, pneumatic tubing, blown and cast film, sheet, and extruded profile.
TPU for extrusion →Outsoles, heel counters, toe puffs, and overmolded parts that need abrasion resistance, flex life, and clean colorability.
TPU for footwear →Extrusion grades for cable jackets and retractile cords, including options for UV and flame performance where the cable spec calls for it.
Medium to hard grades for drive belts, timing belts, and conveyor components that need abrasion resistance and dimensional stability.
Hard grades for rollers, casters, scraper blades, and impact parts where toughness and load-bearing matter.
Base TPU for compounders producing filled, colored, or alloyed grades for downstream markets.
TPU is colored with masterbatch, a solid color concentrate let down into the resin during molding or extrusion. The process and the finished form differ from the liquid dispersions we supply for cast PU. We match a target color and supply the masterbatch or a pre-colored compound. See color matching.
Every grade below has its own page carrying the typical properties from COIM's own technical data sheet, the applications COIM lists for it, the drying and temperature profile, and the packaging. Grades are grouped by the chemistry COIM states on each sheet, then ordered by hardness.
The chemistry with the best abrasion and oil resistance. Polyester TPU hydrolyses in prolonged hot wet service, which is the limit to design around.

Browse the full COIM catalog. Extrusion versions carry an end code on the order, so tell us the process as well as the grade.
Tell us the part, the process, the fluid and the temperature. We will name the grade, send the data sheet, and ship a sample from North American stock. Cross-references from other TPU grades are available on request.
Request a SampleWhen the part runs hotter or sees aggressive chemicals beyond what TPU handles comfortably, the next step up is a thermoplastic copolyester elastomer (TPC-ET). P.A.T. Products supplies Sipol's Sipolprene TPC-ET as a companion to the Laripur line, for static and dynamic seals, wire and cable, and flexible parts that need higher continuous-service temperature and better creep resistance.
If you are working from an existing copolyester spec, cross-references to commonly specified TPC-ET grades, including Hytrel and Arnitel, are available on request. See TPC-ET copolyester elastomers for the grade table and the selection logic, the Sipol partner page for the Sipolprene range, what TPC-ET is for the definition and the decision between the two families, and matching a TPC-ET spec for how a cross-reference gets made.
Technical Data Sheets and Safety Data Sheets are available for every grade. Food-contact compliance documentation, including FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 statements, is available for select grades on request, along with RoHS and REACH statements. Tell us what your qualification process requires and we will pull the documents.
We hold Laripur inventory in North American warehouses and ship across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Many grades ship from stock, and samples typically go out the same business day. For commercial volumes we also arrange direct container shipments.
Qualifying a second source, or moving off another TPU brand? We can match a Laripur grade by hardness, chemistry type, and processing profile. Cross-references to commonly specified TPU grades are available on request. Read more on sourcing Laripur TPU in North America.
Polyester-based TPU leads on abrasion resistance, mechanical strength, and resistance to oils, fuels, and heat, which makes it the workhorse for extrusion and wear parts. Polyether-based TPU leads on hydrolysis resistance, low-temperature flexibility, and microbial resistance, which makes it the choice for wet, cold, or long-immersion service and many dynamic seals. Caprolactone-based TPU is a polyester type that keeps much of the mechanical strength while improving hydrolysis resistance.
The Laripur grades listed on this page run from Shore A 66 (soft, flexible) through Shore D 77 (rigid). Softer grades suit seals and flexible tube; harder grades suit wear parts, rollers, and structural components.
Yes. If you are qualifying a second source or moving off another TPU brand, we match a Laripur grade by hardness, chemistry type (polyester, polyether, or caprolactone), and processing profile. That includes grades specified under the incumbent trade names Elastollan, Estane, Desmopan, Texin, Pellethane and Irogran, which are the registered trademarks of their respective owners. We do not publish a grade-to-grade mapping, because hardness and chemistry alone do not decide whether a substitution survives in a real part. Send the grade you run now and we will name the closest Laripur grade and ship material to test. Cross-references are available on request.
Food-contact compliance documentation, including FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 statements, is available for select Laripur grades on request. Tell us your application and we will confirm which grades carry the documentation you need.
We stock Laripur TPU in North American warehouses and ship throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Many grades ship from stock, and samples typically go out the same business day.
