Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU), ma ana meatotino sili ona lelei ma le lautele o le apalai, ua avea ma se tasi o le taua thermoplastic elastomer mea, o ana molemole e masani lava laina ma laʻititi pe leai ni vailaʻau felavasaʻi.
E tele fesoʻotaʻiga faʻaletino na fausia e fusi o le hydrogen i le va o filifili polyurethane molelaʻau, o loʻo avea ma mea e faʻamalosia ai i latou tino, ma maua ai le tele o meatotino sili ona lelei, e pei o le maualuga modulus, maualuga le malosi, sili lelei laei tetee, tetee vailaʻau, hydrolysis tetee, maualuga ma maualalo vevela teteʻe ma suia suia. Nei lelei meatotino faia thermoplastic polyurethane lautele faʻaaogaina i le tele o fanua e pei o seevae, uaea, lavalava, taʻavale, vailaʻau ma le soifua maloloina, paipa, ata tifaga ma laupepa.
