Texin 8990AE resin is an aliphatic polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethane; it can be processed by injection molding or extrusion.

Properties / Applications:
Texin 8990AE resin exhibits better color stability towards UV (ultraviolet) exposure (i.e. yellowing) than aromatic thermoplastic polyurethane resins. Texin 8990AE also exhibits inherent resistance to hydrolysis, as well as outstanding clarity and flexibility. Texin 8990AE resin was primarily designed for photovoltaic applications, but can be used for applications such as coated fabrics, tarps and rain gear, optical lenses, flexible windows and outdoor signage. Exposure to UV irradiation can affect the mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane resin. As with any product, use of Texin 8990AE resin in a given application must be tested (including but not limited to field testing) in advance by the user to determine suitability.
