Polyurethane (PU), including self-skinning PU, is the material identified in the provided product data for lighter and safer sports and fitness accessories. Its soft feel, high elasticity, wear resistance, and resistance to hydrolysis and hot and cold conditions support applications such as cushions, bicycle saddles, motorcycle seats, handlebars, handrails, and fitness-equipment cushions.
PU is the principal material specified for the Tongxin X12 bathtub pillow and for the manufacturer’s broader accessory range. The company describes its PU products as soft, colourful, highly elastic, hydrolysis resistant, cold and hot resistant, and wear-resistant. These properties are relevant to sports and fitness accessories that require repeated contact, cushioning, and surface durability.
Self-skinning PU expands the application range beyond bathroom products. The listed sports, fitness, and leisure applications include cushions, bicycle saddles, motorcycle seats, handlebars, handrails, and cushions for fitness equipment. The application data also identifies safety-related uses in other sectors, including automotive safety components and impact-resistant corner guards.
For the X12 bathtub pillow, the specified material is polyurethane, with regular black and white colors and other colors available by request. The product fits curved, round, oval, and some straight-edge bathtubs. Its documented quality process includes inspection during production and appearance inspection before packaging; these controls illustrate how the manufacturer evaluates PU accessory consistency before shipment.
