Why TPU for your protective case?

Diving is a fascinating sport that captivates a large number of people worldwide. Dive computers are indispensable companions, providing crucial information such as dive depth, dive time, and decompression limits. When choosing the material for dive computer cases, TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is an excellent option. TPU offers several advantages, making it an ideal material for dive computer cases. Additionally, TPU easily slips over the dive computer, similar to a smartphone case.

High flexibility and adaptability:

TPU is an extremely flexible and elastic material. This allows the dive computer case to conform to the contours of the dive computer, ensuring a secure fit. Similar to a smartphone case, the TPU case slips easily over the dive computer, ensuring simple handling.

  • Compostability

    Another benefit of TPU is its good compostability. Unlike conventional plastics, which take many years to decompose, TPU can be broken down in industrial composting facilities. It can be reused in a biological cycle, thus contributing to waste reduction and environmental protection.

  • Chemical Resistance

    TPU is chemically resistant to many substances such as saltwater, sunscreen, oils, and other chemicals that can occur during diving. This ensures that the dive computer case retains its shape and strength even under adverse conditions and is not damaged by corrosive substances.

  • Shock and impact resistance:

    During diving, it is inevitable that your dive computer will be exposed to various bumps and impacts. TPU offers high resistance to shocks and impacts, effectively protecting your dive computer from damage caused by bumps, drops, or collisions. This is particularly important for safeguarding the sensitive electronic components of your dive computer.

Conclusion

Choosing the right material for dive computer cases is crucial to ensure the protection and functionality of your dive computer. TPU impressively meets these requirements. Its high flexibility and adaptability allow for easy slip-on application, similar to a smartphone case, while its shock resistance and chemical resistance reliably protect the dive computer. Furthermore, TPU is compostable, making its recyclability
