TPU Application Compendium - Guangyuan Ruifeng New Materials

Release Time: 2020-06-24

Summary: TPU, or thermoplastic polyurethane, is a segmented copolymer formed by the polymerization reaction of diisocyanate molecules, polyols, and chain extenders. It is a polymeric material that falls between rubber and plastic.

TPU is a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, a block copolymer formed by the polymerization reaction of diisocyanate molecules, polyols, and chain extenders. It is a polymer material between rubber and plastic. TPU products have a wide range of hardness, high mechanical strength, excellent cold resistance, good processing performance, oil resistance, water resistance, and mildew resistance, and are widely used in footwear, pipes, medical devices, automotive parts, electronics, and other industries.

I. Automotive Field

TPU's wear resistance, flex fatigue resistance, and high elasticity make it suitable for various automotive parts, such as shift levers, shaft sleeves and gaskets for various couplings, connectors for various wire harnesses, spiral retractable wires, cable sheaths, shock absorbers, spring limit blocks, etc. It can also be used in combination with other plastics or rubbers for automotive bumpers, airbags, dust covers, and other components. TPU material has wear resistance, oil resistance, weather resistance, high-pressure resistance, acid and alkali resistance, salt spray resistance, water resistance, and good thermal stability. Its main application in new energy vehicles is charging pile cables. (TPU crosslinking agent manufacturer)

II. Medical Field

Medical-grade TPU material has excellent biostability and biocompatibility, outstanding anti-chemical performance, strength, hydrolysis resistance, non-hemolytic properties, and no release of corrosive or hazardous chemicals. With high transparency, strength, and flexibility superior to PVC, it can be used to make high-burst-strength thin-walled tubes and fluid storage bags. (TPU crosslinking agent manufacturer)

TPU material effectively prevents the loss of active substances caused by reactions with drugs. It also has high transparency, chemical resistance, easy processing, high tear resistance, is not easily knotted, is easy to disinfect, and is free of phthalates. It is FDA and USP Class VI certified and can be used for medical (infusion) tubing. It also has good resistance to heat deformation, produces almost no static electricity, and will not hinder surgery, making it suitable for oxygenators. It can also be processed into ultra-thin wall thicknesses and complex shapes, such as catheters. (TPU crosslinking agent manufacturer)

III. Electronics and Electrical Appliances

TPU material has a good feel, and its moderate flow properties also improve production efficiency. It is used in smartwatches and can be worn safely even by those with sensitive skin. TPU material has excellent wear resistance and easy processing properties, meeting the various complex requirements of stone sweeping robots. TPU composite materials combine thinness, lightness, toughness, and strength, are durable, and are easy to mold, providing aesthetic appeal and can be used for appliance casings. In addition to the above applications, TPU material can also be used for electronic accessories, mobile phone cases, and electronic product potting. (TPU crosslinking agent manufacturer)

IV. Sporting Goods

TPU has excellent performance and a short production cycle. It has good wear resistance and damping properties and maintains excellent ductility and flexibility even at low temperatures. It can be used for ski boot buckle components. TPU bicycle inner tubes have a thinner wall thickness, 50% lighter than traditional rubber inner tubes, without reducing long-term load capacity or service life. TPU, foamed through an innovative process, has excellent rebound and cushioning properties and extremely low water absorption, making it suitable for sports fields and children's playgrounds. It can also be used for bicycle seat padding and tennis rackets. (TPU crosslinking agent manufacturer)

TPU can be applied to various sports equipment, not only reducing the weight of components but also providing excellent performance, such as energy return, impact resistance, and excellent aesthetics for appearance components and surfaces. It can be used for bicycle helmets or protective equipment, racing bicycle brake levers and pedals, sports backpack frames, skis, and soles. (TPU crosslinking agent manufacturer)

V. Wires and Cables

In addition to being used for automotive charging pile cables, TPU material can also be used for other types of cable sheathing. (TPU crosslinking agent manufacturer)

VI. Conveyor Pipes

TPU has excellent hydrolysis resistance, chemical resistance, low-temperature toughness, and wear resistance, and can be used for conveyor pipes, fire hoses, etc. (TPU crosslinking agent manufacturer)

As shown above, TPU materials are used in all aspects of daily life. Guanyuan Ruifeng New Materials Co., Ltd., a TPU crosslinking agent manufacturer, has mature production processes to meet your needs.
