Polyurethane
Group of plastics. Used as a coating, foam or fibre (elastane). The coating for rucksack fabrics, tent fabrics or clothing made of synthetic fibres can be applied once or several times. Special treatment can also make the coating breathable. As foam, it is used, e.g. in backpack hip belts. Elastane fibre consists of at least 85% PU. PU is very abrasion-resistant, cold-stable and puncture-resistant (tent floor).
