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.
TPU is thermoplastic polyurethane, which is divided into polyester type and polyether type. It has a wide range of hardness (60A-85D), wear resistance, oil resistance, transparency, and good elasticity. It is widely used in daily necessities, sporting goods, toys, decorative materials, etc. Applications, halogen-free flame-retardant TPU can also replace soft PVC to meet environmental protection requirements in more and more fields.
TPU use:
Welding materials; adhesives; artificial leather, synthetic leather, rope, iron wire, gloves and other coatings.
All kinds of shoe material inks, screen printing inks, coating color pastes, etc.
Ink Binder: It has the characteristics of good wear resistance, high toughness, and excellent anti-sticking performance.
The main advantages of TPU: excellent adhesion; low viscosity; good flex resistance; excellent wear resistance; high gloss; excellent weather resistance.
