A softer TPU for compliant interfaces, grips, and parts that must deform more readily.
TPU 90A
CommodityStocked
What it’s for
Gaskets and seals, Cable management, Functional prototypes, Cable management. We choose the final route against the geometry and service environment, not from the material name alone.
Key characteristics
- 01Its softer elastomer network offers lower resistance to deformation.
- 02That produces a more compliant part than firm TPU.
- 03It asks for slower, well-supported extrusion paths.
- 04Use it for grips, cushions, and soft protective interfaces.
In our shop
We plan its toolpath conservatively and avoid pretending fine unsupported features will stay crisp.
The geometry has to do as much work as the material on a soft part.

Design notes
- Avoid narrow unsupported tips and tiny holes.
- Describe the desired feel and movement, not only the nominal shape.
Technical values appear only after we approve a datasheet for the exact spool in use. If a specific property determines the job, tell us and we will discuss the material route.
