TPU vs. Silicone vs. Rubber: Choosing the Best Material for Flexible Connections
For decades, rubber and silicone were the only options for flexible piping in powder handling. However, modern processing demands—higher speeds, stricter hygiene, and longer uptime—have exposed the limitations of these legacy materials. At SOSHH, we have pioneered the use of High-Performance TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) to replace outdated sleeves. Here is how TPU outperforms silicone and rubber in every critical industrial metric.
