Les polyuréthannes thermoplastiques sont des polymères linéaires avec des groupes uréthannes alternés avec des polyols. [...] En élevant la température, les liaisons entre chaînes sont rompues, permettant une mise en œuvre semblable à celles des thermoplastiques : (injection, extrusion, soufflage, thermoformage...). Des solvants peuvent aussi rompre ces liaisons permettant de préparer des solutions pour colles ou revêtements, et même extrusion de fils. 3, record 1, French, - polyur%C3%A9thanne%20thermoplastique
