SUPERSIZE POLYURETHANE WHEELS A GLOBAL PARTNER FOR HIGH TECHNOLOGY ELASTOMERS SUPERSIZE POLYURETHANE WHEELS Welcome everyone. Thanks for joining us today. We are here this morning to talk to you about Huntsman’s work in the field of polyurethanes. This year at K we’ll be focusing on polyurethane innovation and how our PU chemistries are helping to make the world a better place. Today, my colleague and I are going to talk about two different strands of this work. I’ll be looking at the use of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) in the sports, leisure and apparel sector. I’ll be explaining how TPU is used to make active wear that is more comfortable and attractive; and how material innovation in this field is having a positive impact in other market sectors. Then I’ll hand over to my colleague from Huntsman Tecnoelastomeri, who’ll spend some time explaining our work downstream in some very exciting industrial applications.

PARTNERSHIP SUCCESS DANGO & DIENENTHAL MASCHINENBAU GMBH Stefan Buch, Purchasing Manager at Dango & Dienenthal: "Thanks to PEVOTEC® we can ensure the highest performance for our machines. This in turn is helping us to keep production losses to a minimum and increase customer satisfaction.” The growth of 3D printing is another area where the use of TPUs is increasing and where innovation is rife. The footwear industry has – naturally – been very quick to adopt 3d manufacturing techniques. A growing number of companies now offer customers custom shoes, built to fit feet perfectly and to benefit people with specific podiatry problems. In the United States we are working with a company called [insert name and further details of work if permission is granted]. TPU is an ideal material for 3D printing applications in other sectors where it will enable the creation of functional parts rather than just prototype shapes.
