TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethanes) is called thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber. It is mainly divided into polyester type and polyether type: polyurethane elastomer is a relatively special category of elastomers. Polyurethane elastomer has a wide hardness range and a wide performance range, so polyurethane elastomer is between rubber and rubber. A class of polymer materials and plastics. It can be heat-plasticized, has no or little cross-linking in its chemical structure, and its molecules are basically linear, but there are certain physical cross-links. This type of polyurethane is called TPU.
TPU is widely used:
Mobile phone case; Automobile parts: Ball coupling; Dust cover; Pedal brake; Door lock striker; Bushing; Leaf spring bushing; Bearing; Various gears; seals (mainly wear-resistant and oil-resistant); shock-proof parts; mold-taking needles; bushings; bearings; wait.
