Bayer adds 4 grades to Desmoplan line

Bayer Polymers L.L.C. has added four grades to its Desmopan thermoplastic polyurethane line. Designed mainly for ski boots and sport and leisure footwear, the new aromatic grades offer good transparency and abrasion resistance as well as high tear propagation strength, the company said. Each grade, which can be injection-molded or extruded, provides increased ultraviolet stability and has a significantly lower yellow value than standard grades, according to the Bayer Corp. unit.
