What is Soleic® TPU?
Soleic® is a next-generation thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) made from non-food plant-based materials. Delivered in pellet form, it is coated, extruded, or laminated onto fabrics by Trelleborg, creating a slick, durable, and water-resistant finish—with a lower environmental cost.
This innovation supports:
- Meeting eco-conscious consumer demand
- Supporting your sustainability and circular economy goals
- Reduced carbon footprint
- Enhancing product lifecycle management and brand value
Key benefits for your product
- Biodegradable
Biodegrades in industrial compost in 21 weeks without toxic byproducts - High bio-based content
62%–87% bio-based content depending on grade (USDA BioPreferred® Certified) - Lower carbon footprint
Up to 84% lower GHG emissions than petroleum-based TPUs - No persistent microplastics
Microplastics degrade naturally - Tunable performance
Biodegradability can be adjusted based on your performance needs
