Powder Handling PU Sleeves for Bulk Powder Transfer
Bulk powder transfer wears ordinary sleeves at the wall, leaks at the clamp, and traps material in ribbed crevices. SOSHH® PU sleeves solve all three with HF-welded (high-frequency welded) 100% virgin polyether TPU — 40 MPa tensile strength, ~600% elongation, Shore A 90, 39.0 mg DIN abrasion — snapped tool-free over stainless spigots to form a 360° crevice-free seal. Standard diameters run Ø102–Ø804 mm, lengths 100–1000 mm; food grades are FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 compliant and anti-static grades (10⁶–10⁹ Ω) meet ATEX Zones 20/21/22.

High Transparency Flexible Couplings: Real-Time Material Flow Visualization
High-transparency flexible couplings from SOSHH use 100% virgin polyether TPU for real-time material flow visualization in pharmaceutical, food and powder processing. Operators see product moving through the sleeve — detecting buildup, blockages and contamination before they escalate — with a crevice-free, FDA-compliant seal rated +0.35 bar / −50 mbar, 40 MPa tensile strength and ~600% elongation.

Improving Pipeline System Performance: 6 Benefits of Polyurethane Flexible Joints
Polyurethane flexible joints earn their place in powder and bulk-material pipelines on six measurable fronts: abrasion resistance, vibration decoupling, flex-fatigue life, tool-free service, adaptability and seal integrity. SOSHH® joints are built from 100% polyether TPU with HF-welded cuffs — 40 MPa tensile strength, ~600% elongation, Shore A 90, 39.0 mg DIN abrasion — snapped tool-free over stainless spigots to form a 360° crevice-free seal. Standard diameters Ø102–Ø804 mm, lengths 100–1000 mm; food grades are FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 compliant and anti-static grades (10⁶–10⁹ Ω) meet ATEX Zones 20/21/22. For heat or chemical duty, SOSHH grades PUHT (−20 to +150 °C) and pure PTFE (−40 to +300 °C, pH 0–14).
