1. Introduction to TPU
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is a polymer material that combines rubber elasticity and plastic processing properties. It consists of a soft segment (polyether or polyester) and a hard segment (diisocyanate and chain extender). Its hardness, wear resistance, oil resistance and other properties can be adjusted through molecular structure design. It is widely used in industry, medical, consumer electronics and other fields.
2. Characteristics of TPU raw materials
Excellent mechanical properties: high elasticity, high tear strength, good resilience, and can withstand repeated stretching and compression.
Wide hardness range (Shore A 60~D 80), adapted to different application requirements.
Excellent wear resistance and oil resistance: wear resistance is better than natural rubber and most plastics, suitable for manufacturing soles, industrial conveyor belts, etc.
Resistant to mineral oil, grease and some solvents, suitable for automotive parts, seals, etc.
Good low temperature resistance and weather resistance: stable performance in the range of -40ºC~120ºC, not easy to brittle at low temperatures
Anti-ultraviolet (UV) and ozone, suitable for outdoor products (such as mobile phone cases, sports equipment).
Environmental protection and processability: It can be processed by thermoplastic processes such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, etc., with high production efficiency.
Transparency and colorability: Some TPUs have high transparency and are suitable for transparent sheaths, medical catheters, etc. Easy to dye, and can be customized with a variety of colors and surface effects (such as matte, glossy).
III. Main application areas of TPU
Shoes and sports goods: soles, insoles (cushioning, anti-slip), sports protective gear (knee pads, wrist guards).
Electronics and consumer products: mobile phone protective cases, headphone cables (bending resistance), smart watch straps (skin-friendly, sweat resistance).
Industrial and automotive parts: sealing rings, hydraulic pipes, cable sheaths (oil resistant, anti-aging).
Automotive interior parts, dust covers (weather resistant, shock absorption).
Medical and health: medical catheters, tourniquets (biocompatibility), orthotics (soft support).
Other innovative applications: 3D printing consumables (flexible models), waterproof films (outdoor clothing), smart wearable devices (stretch sensor substrates).
4. Future development trends of TPU
High performance: Develop special TPUs such as high temperature resistance, electrical/thermal conductivity.
Green and environmental protection: Promote bio-based TPU and recyclable materials.
Intelligent combination: Sensor components for flexible electronics and wearable devices.
TPU is becoming an ideal material to replace traditional rubber and PVC with its versatility and customizability, and has broad application prospects in the future.
Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (polyester) (TPU-polyester) material, general purpose.Application:Gaskets, films, pipe fittings, wires and cables, shoe soles, sports equipment and mechanical parts, etc.
