ABS / TPU plastic sheets are sheets with a combination of a soft surface layer with a soft-touch effect of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and an impact-resistant layer of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). Polyurethane provides products with high wear resistance, scratch resistance, resistance to gasoline and engine oils. The bottom layer of ABS is responsible for high-quality forming and high impact resistance, even at low operating temperatures.Parts made of ABS / TPU sheet have an aesthetic matte (anti-reflective), pleasant surface. The hardness of the top layer can be different depending on the customers’ requirements.
ABS/TPU plastic sheets are available in various colors and shades.
ABS/TPU sheets have good UV protection making them suitable for outdoor use.
We produce TPU sheets with a thickness of 2 to 10 mm for seals and cuffs production, gasket material for drainage systems, lining of various containers, conveyor belts. TPU sheets are characterized by high elasticity even at low temperatures, high resistance to abrasion and bending and tearing.
or special purposes, we produce sheets with high dissipative and antistatic properties with a specific volume resistance of 103-108 Ohm*m in black.

Additional Information
ABS/TPU plastic sheet is a multi-layer sheet with a soft surface layer of a mixture of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) which provides high wear resistance, scratch resistance, resistance to gasoline and machine oils. The bottom layer of ABS provides the sheets with high-quality molding and high impact resistance, resistance to low temperatures. Parts made of ABS / TPU sheet have a matte (anti-reflective), pleasant to the touch surface. ABS / TPU plastic sheet is available in various colors and shades.
- very good abrasion and scratch resistance
- anti-slip properties and noise reduction
- has so-called Soft effect (due to TPU coating layer)
- good strength and ductility at low temperatures
- excellent chemical resistance in contact with oils, hydrocarbons and many solvents (better than ABS)
- good resistance to hydrolysis to contact with microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, etc.)
- slight deformation under load and high compressive strength
- high resistance of the cut material to further tearing
- the possibility of obtaining a surface with varying degrees of gloss / haze
- the ability to obtain slabs with antistatic surface properties (resistance up to 105Ω)
- extrusion capability with recycled ABS
Nowadays TPU / ABS is most widely used in the automotive industry as a material for thermoformed interior parts of cars, buses and automotive vehicles, external trunks. Due to its mechanical strength, it is used for the production of suitcases, trays for transportation, the manufacture of trays for railway and air transport, finishing and cladding works, so they can be easily revetted on any surface, including the facades of residential and industrial buildings. They make excellent and durable advertising and information stands, shop windows, partitions in public buildings.
