Fallbrook, California. January 2016. PriPro Polymers, Inc., a leader in specialty polymers, announces the launch of X-Linked TPU's (Cross Linked Thermo Plastic Polyurethanes) and TPE's (Cross Linked Thermo Plastic Elastomers). This recently patented family of X-Link TPU's are highly resistant to abrasion, chemicals and heat, and lasts far longer than standard Polyurethanes and Elastomers.
