— a type of thermoplastic polyurethane used in 3D printing to produce a wide range of different products. This material is quite strong with high flexibility and elasticity, and when cooled it practically does not shrink. The tactile sensations of products made from TPU plastic are reminiscent of polyurethane soles on shoes. Among other features of the material, it is important to note its chemical resistance to gasoline, motor oils, alcohol and other solvents, but this also has a downside - TPU plastic is practically impossible to paint. This material also has increased hygroscopic properties, so it must be protected from the external environment and proper storage conditions must be observed (it is advisable to keep the plastic in a closed container with dry silica gel).
