Elastollan 1185A

Grade: 1185A

Overview

Polyether-based TPU for flexible parts that take repeated mechanical abuse. TPU is specified over TPV where abrasion and tear resistance matter more than compression set — protective boots and bellows rather than static seals.

Key advantages
  • Abrasion resistant
  • Flexible
  • Tough
Applications
CV joint bootsBellows and coversCable sheathing

Chemical compatibility for this grade has not been assessed yet. Ratings are added as our applications engineering team reviews each resin family.

Ratings describe the resin's general behaviour, not your part. Moulded-in stress, wall section, temperature and applied load all change the outcome — qualify the finished device with your own cleaning and exposure protocol.

Maximum dose and cycle counts require producer validation data, so we show "Confirm with producer" rather than a figure. Retention and discoloration notes are qualitative. Sterilization must always be validated on the finished device.

Compliance status reflects producer statements and grade records on file. Always confirm the current position with a signed regulatory statement letter for your specific device and market before submission.

Documents

Documents marked “Request” are supplied on account. We link a download only when a real, current file is on file — never a placeholder that would 404.

Supply & logistics

Stocking, lead time and packaging for this grade are confirmed per order. Request a quote and the team responds with live availability rather than a figure that may be stale.

Processing & design notes

Primary process

Injection or extrusion

Supplied in grades suited to both molding and profile or tube extrusion — confirm the specific grade with the datasheet.

Structural role

Flexible elastomer — sealing, soft-touch, and tubing functions.

Typically paired with

  • A rigid PC or PP substrate for overmolding
  • A compatible tubing connector resin

Engineering watch-outs

  • Confirm adhesion to your chosen rigid substrate with a bond trial before committing to tooling.
  • No biocompatibility data is published for this grade — request documentation before any body-contact use.
  • Always qualify the specific lot and grade against your own device master record and validation plan.

Qualitative guidance only. We don't publish processing windows — confirm melt and mold temperatures, drying, and shrinkage against the producer technical data sheet and your own part qualification.
