100% recyclable too, so you can feel good about your purchase.TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) has been around since 1960, developed by DuPont and BF Goodrich (today, Lubrizol). TPU has superior properties, extremely high wear resistance and resilience, durability, low temperature flexibility, superior tear strength, high elasticity. The tube brand Eclipse has been founded in 2011 in Switzerland as the first commercial inner tube using TPU as material.
Eclipse has developed proprietary technologies for joining the tube ends, as well as the mechanical assembly of a valve stem to the tube material. Both details are patented and have been defeated in lawsuits against BASF and Schwalbe and can therefore not be used by any competitor.
TPU tubes are extremely light, yet highly puncture resistant. The low rolling resistance offers high performance and speed. TPU retains its shape and ensures the best riding characteristics on all bicycles, even at low air pressures, and its dimensional stability makes it easy to install.
Tubeless tires are nowadays available for many categories. However, some cyclists prefer using a tube over tubeless as their preferred option. Also, certain wheel types and tyres are not suitable for tubeless setups, so in this case Eclipse TPU inner tubes are a high-end alternative to traditional butyl bicycle tubes. The technical standards are on par with tubeless systems.
Eclipse TPU inner tubes are 100% recyclable, as they are completely made of a thermoplastic polyurethane and a metal valve stem. This makes the recycling process easy applicable; the recycled tubes enter a second life cycle as sealing or insulation material.
TPU is a non-toxic and 100% food-safe material, TPU does not contain any chemicals that interfere with endocrine and hormone systems, nor does it contribute to PH change in soil or water. It contains no dangerous ingredients according to REACH Compliance (EC) No 1907/2006.
