Under the brand WanthaneTM TPU, Wanhua supplies ester- and ether-based thermoplastic polyurethanes that feature superior chemical resistance, very low abrasion and the ability to withstand elevated temperatures and high levels of pressure. These properties make WanthaneTM TPU products ideal for applications in the pharmaceutical and food industries, plastics and wood processing, exhaust systems, logistics and agriculture.

Based in Yantai, Wanhua was founded in 1998 and supplies a complete range of polyurethane products, petrochemicals and fine chemicals. The company has been listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange since 2001. Today, Wanhua employs more than 19,000 people and ranks among the top twenty chemical companies in the world.
