Application:
1. Shoes material
TPU is used in shoe materials mainly due to its excellent elasticity and wear resistance. Footwear containing TPU is much superior to ordinary footwear in terms of wearing comfort. Therefore, it is more widely used in high-end footwear products, especially some sports shoes and casual shoes.
2. Film
TPU is increasingly popular because of its superior performance and environmental protection concept. At present, wherever PVC is used, TPU can become a substitute for PVC. TPU film can not only fit with various fabrics, but also produce products with clear outline and stable size by vacuum thermoforming. With the continuous improvement of domestic environmental awareness, the application of TPU is becoming more and more extensive. Among them are the areas where the growth rate is relatively fast: upper linings, thermal underwear, transparent underwear, transparent shoulder straps, elastic bands and medical breathable tapes.
3.TPU Adhesive
TPU adhesive is a kind of polyurethane adhesive. The use of polyurethane adhesives in Europe and the United States has been quite common, especially in the use of footwear adhesives, almost using polyurethane adhesives. The use of TPU adhesive in my country is to dissolve TPU and obtain polyurethane adhesive after processing. In the use of TPU adhesives, mainly in four main areas of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai.
4. Hose
Because TPU hoses are soft, with good tensile strength, impact strength and high and low temperature resistance, TPU hoses are widely used in China for the transportation of gas and oil in aircraft, tanks, automobiles, motorcycles, machine tools, and other mechanical equipment hose. The main TPU hose manufacturing enterprises are concentrated in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei and other places.
5. Wire
TPU provides tear resistance, wear resistance and bending characteristics, and high and low temperature resistance is the key to cable performance. Therefore, in the Chinese market, TPUs for advanced cables, such as control cables and power cables, are used to protect the coating materials of complex design cables, and their uses are becoming increasingly widespread.
6. Scroll wheel
Polyurethane elastomers have a large number of applications on rollers due to their high mechanical strength, excellent wear resistance, excellent oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, outstanding compression resistance. The domestic rollers are mainly the following: industrial rollers, household rollers, sports equipment wheels, medical equipment wheels, toy wheels.
7. Plastic modification
Can be used for PA, ABS plasticization, but the cost is higher.
8. Ink
The main advantages of TPU ink are: excellent adhesion, low viscosity, good flexure resistance, excellent wear resistance, high gloss, weather resistance, can resist any sun exposure including UV radiation, in all It has excellent toughness and durability in various application fields. The inks made of aromatic and aliphatic TPU can be used in various climates and environmental conditions, and the products have stable and outstanding performance.
TPU ink has the characteristics of smooth and smooth appearance, good shading, alcohol resistance, strong adhesion, etc. It is mainly suitable for surface decoration of plastics such as TPU. Such as mobile phones, laptops, shoes, car leather chairs, sofas, advanced leather goods, handbags, inflatable entertainment TPU products, umbrellas, raincoats, etc.
TPU ink is used on metal and glass with poor adhesion rate and easy to paint off.
