Taglus® PU Flex is a homogeneous polyurethane sheet that consists of linear polymeric chains made of alternating flexible and rigid segments. It is a high-performance aligner and retainer material that provides excellent flexibility, strength, and durability, while also providing comfort for the wearer.
Highly flexible :Unique formulation results in resulting in higher toughness yet more flexibility
Comfortable and durable :High value of elongation at break reduces the risk of aligner cracks
Brilliant wear and tear resistance : Designed for long term wear to withstand tooth forces
Orthodontic forces :Generates 20% more initial forces Vs other PU materials
In applications where plastic films are designed to withstand orthodontic forces in an aligner, the mechanical properties of polymers namely Strength, Stiffness & Toughness play a vital role. Such properties of Taglus® PU Flex sheets when investigated using standardized test methods, e.g. tensile stress as per ASTM D 638: 2014 by briefly applying load in one direction the approximate results and values observed during such test, demonstrate that Taglus® PU Flex has the highest tensile stress at the break in its class approximately equal to 61 MPa. So, it is an optimal balance of rigidity with elasticity. The test was performed by a NABL accredited Laboratory complying with ISO/IEC 17025 Laboratory Management System.
