A TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) sleeve for iron rods is a high-performance protective cover designed to shield metal rods from abrasion, corrosion, and impact while providing a secure grip. Ideal for industrial, construction, and DIY applications, it combines durability with flexibility for long-lasting use. Key Features & Benefits ✔ Abrasion & Impact Resistant – Protects rods from scratches, dents, and wear. ✔ Weatherproof – Resists UV rays, moisture, and temperatures from -40°C to 90°C (-40°F to 194°F). ✔ Non-Slip Surface – Textured or ribbed design enhances grip for safe handling. ✔ Easy Installation – Slides or stretches over rods without tools. ✔ Chemical Resistance – Withstands oils, solvents, and mild acids. Common Applications Construction Rebar – Prevents rust and improves grip during handling. Fitness Equipment – Covers barbells or weightlifting rods. Industrial Machinery – Guards piston rods or guide rails. DIY Projects – Adds protection to metal frames or tools. Material Advantages Property TPU PVC (Comparison) Durability Higher tear resistance Less flexible Eco-Friendliness Recyclable Non-recyclable Grip Superior tactile feel Slippery when wet Installation & Care Clean the rod surface before sliding on the sleeve. For tight fits, warm the sleeve slightly for easier installation. Inspect periodically for cuts or excessive wear.
