TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethanes) is called thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber. Elastomer refers to a polymer material with glass transition temperature lower than room temperature, elongation at break > 50%, and better recovery after external force is removed. Polyurethane elastomer is a relatively special category of elastomers. Polyurethane elastomers have a wide range of hardness and performance. Therefore, polyurethane elastomers are a class of polymer materials between rubber and plastics.
The main advantages of TPU ink are: excellent adhesion, low viscosity, good flex resistance, excellent abrasion resistance, high gloss, weather resistance, and can resist any sun exposure including UV radiation. Excellent toughness and durability in all kinds of applications. 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 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, TPU for high-end cables, such as control cables and power cables, is used to protect the coating materials of cables with complex designs, and its uses are becoming more and more extensive.
