Common thermoplastic is not elastic. It has a so-called elongation at break of up to 50%. Elongation at break is a measure that describes how much the material can be stretched before it breaks. <\/p>\n
A thermoplastic polyurethane can have an elongation at break of several hundred percent. Our most common polyurethane (TPU<\/a>) with a hardness of 90 Shore A has an elongation at break of close to 500%. <\/p>\nElastic memory<\/h3>\n
If a traditional thermoplastic is subjected to a load, the deformation will persist to some extent after the load is removed. If, on the other hand, a product made of polyurethane (TPU<\/a>) is loaded, it exhibits elastic memory. After the load is removed, the material returns to its original shape.
Thermoplastics, or plastics, can therefore encompass a wide variety of materials.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":18193,"menu_order":14,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-18930","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uw-elast.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uw-elast.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uw-elast.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uw-elast.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uw-elast.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18930"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.uw-elast.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18930\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20905,"href":"https:\/\/www.uw-elast.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18930\/revisions\/20905"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uw-elast.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uw-elast.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
