In recent years, due to the continuous development of new products, the usage of thermoplastic PU elastomers has continued to increase, creating new opportunities for plastic processing companies to create low-cost, high-value-added industries. TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is becoming increasingly popular due to its superior performance and environmentally friendly concept. Currently, TPU can be used as a substitute for PVC wherever PVC is used. However, the advantages of TPU are beyond the reach of PVC. TPU not only has excellent high tensile strength, high tensile strength, toughness and aging resistance, but also is a mature environmentally friendly material. At present, TPU has been widely used in: shoes, ready-made clothing, inflatable toys, water and underwater sports equipment, medical equipment, fitness equipment, car seat materials, umbrellas, suitcases, leather bags, etc. TPU film is made of TPU particles On the basis of raw materials, films are made through processes such as calendering, casting, film blowing, and coating. At present, it is widely used in sports shoes: trademark decoration on soles and uppers, air bags, air cushions, oil bags, etc. Nowadays, there are two trends in the application of TPU films on sports shoes: one is the popular trend caused by women's sandals, which is to directly cut the highly transparent TPU film, or screen print and color it, or laminate it to cloth. The base is made of mesh fabric, etc., which are formed by high frequency and bonded to the upper, which has functional and decorative effects. The second is to use a waterproof and moisture-permeable TPU film to fit the shoe material cloth to achieve a waterproof and moisture-permeable effect. Characteristics The main characteristics of TPU are: Wide hardness range: By changing the proportion of each reaction component of TPU, products with different hardness can be obtained, and as the hardness increases, the product still maintains good elasticity and wear resistance. High mechanical strength: TPU products have outstanding load-bearing capacity, impact resistance and shock absorption properties. Outstanding cold resistance: TPU has a relatively low glass transition temperature and still maintains good elasticity, flexibility and other physical properties at minus 35 degrees. Good processing performance: TPU can be processed using common thermoplastic material processing methods, such as injection molding, extrusion, calendering, etc. At the same time, TPU and certain polymer materials can be processed together to obtain polymer alloys with complementary properties. TPU is oil, water and mold resistant. Good recyclability. Uses: Uses of various TPU molded products: automotive parts ball couplings; dust covers; pedal brakes; door lock strikers; bushings and leaf spring bushings; bearings; anti-vibration parts; interior and exterior decorative parts; anti-skid chains and other machinery· Industrial components: various gears; seals (mainly wear-resistant and oil-resistant); anti-shock components; die-taking needles; bushings; bearing caps; connectors; rubber screens; printing rubber rollers and other apparel accessories; women's bra shoulder straps, etc. Clothing elastic bands, etc. Footwear Softball shoes, baseball shoes, golf shoes, soccer shoe soles and forefoot women's shoes and heels; ski boots; safety boots, high-end soles and other self-aligning wheels; handles; watch straps and other pipes, hoses, high-pressure pipes; medical pipes ;Hydraulic pipe; pneumatic pipe; fuel pipe; coating pipe conveyor pipe; fire hose and other film and plate rotating belts (with a certain stretching effect); air cushion; diaphragm; keyboard board; composite cloth and other wires and cables; electric power Communication cables; computer wiring; automobile wiring; exploration cables and other various annular pipelines; circular belts; V-belts; synchronous belts; anti-slip belts and other calendered software grooves and cans; film composite sheets, luggage fabrics, etc., blow molding Boxes for various vehicles; blown film ultra-thin and wide films for various containers (medical and sanitary products); solution welding materials; adhesives; coatings for artificial leather, synthetic leather, ropes, iron wires, gloves, etc. TPU is thermoplastic polyurethane , divided into polyester type and polyether type, it has a wide hardness range (60HA-85HD), wear resistance, oil resistance, transparency, and good elasticity. It is widely used in daily necessities, sporting goods, toys, decorative materials and other fields. It is halogen-free. Flame-retardant TPU can also replace soft PVC to meet environmental protection requirements in more and more fields. There are many TPU brands and grades, and the quality is uneven. It is best to go through detailed evaluation and demonstration when choosing TPU, otherwise you will not get the best cost-effective results.
