Laripur® RS 8580

1 of 59 products in this brand
Laripur® RS 8580 is a polyester-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) that is notable for its sustainable sourcing. It is produced using raw materials derived from renewable sources. In fact, approximately 60% of the total carbon content in Laripur® RS 8580 is sourced from renewable materials, as calculated based on its composition. This sustainability aspect makes it a responsible choice for various applications that require both performance and eco-friendliness.

Processing Recommendations

The material needs to be dried for 3 hours at 80°-90°C prior to processing, preferably using a dehumidifying drier feeded with air with a dew point lower than -30°C.
Indicative suggested molding temperature profile:

Zone Temperature
Zone 1 185°C
Zone 2 190°C
Zone 3 195°C
Nozzle 190°C

Being affected by type of machine used, processing conditions and downstream equipment, the temperature profiles as given above has to be considered as just indicative. The grades suitable for extrusion are identified with the EG or AE end code and therefore they have to be ordered with such code when used in this application.
