Summary: Mobile phones are playing an increasingly important role in today's society. In addition to basic telephone communication
Mobile phones are playing an increasingly important role in today's society. In addition to basic telephone communication, the continuous innovation in the mobile phone industry has enabled mobile phones to have comprehensive functions such as video communication, mobile e-commerce, and electronic payment. A phone case is an important mobile accessory that can protect and decorate the phone. (TPU crosslinker, crosslinker manufacturer, PVC adhesion promoter)
1. Silicone gel
Silicone is a common soft rubber material for phone cases. Silicone has excellent resilience, good low-temperature resistance, comfortable and smooth touch, non-toxic and odorless, top-level environmental protection, and good color matching. Silicone protective cases are representative of mid to high end phone cases. Usually, materials with a hardness of 60-80A are selected. The disadvantages of silicone are high cost, long production and processing cycle, and difficulty in recycling and reusing materials.
2 TPU
TPU is a polymer material formed by the reaction and polymerization of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), toluene diisocyanate (TDI), high molecular weight polyols, and chain extenders. It is a plastic material that can repeatedly soften or change under certain heat, but can maintain its shape at room temperature and provide support and protection. It is widely used in shoe midsoles. TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer) is an emerging plastic variety, widely used in industries such as shoe materials, pipes, films, rollers, cables and wires due to its good processability, weather resistance, and environmental friendliness.
TPU can be said to be a universal material for phone cases. TPU has excellent resilience, no deformation, good low temperature resistance, non-toxic and odorless, environmentally friendly material, and good color matching. TPU has a relatively low cost, easy production and processing, short processing and molding cycle, and the secondary material can be recycled and reused. The common hardness range is 85~95 degrees. Advantages: high wear resistance, high strength, outstanding cold resistance, oil resistance, water resistance, mold resistance, good flexibility; Shortcomings: Easy to deform and turn yellow.

From the tactile sensation, TPU generally has a harder hardness than silicone, with stronger elasticity when pinched by hand, while silicone has slightly lower elasticity. From an external perspective, TPU can be made very transparent, while silicone cannot. The transparency is very hazy and feels like thick fog. It is precisely because of the transparent feeling of TPU that it is now more popular among users. And TPU products have many high-end options, with strong selectivity and more pattern changes than silicone.
3. TPE and TPR composite materials
Composite phone cases are usually made by combining soft rubber and hard plastic, usually by bonding the soft rubber (usually TPE/TPR of SEBS system) to the surface of hard plastic (such as PC, PC+ABS, etc.) through secondary injection molding (or two-color injection molding). Give the phone case the dual characteristics of rigidity and flexibility. There are two common types of phone cases: border style phone cases and overall structural phone cases. Composite material phone cases usually use TPE/TPR with a hardness of 65-70 degrees. In addition, the adhesion between TPE/TPR and PC, PC+ABS is an important consideration. In addition to TPE composite PC phone cases, there are also TPE composite TPU phone cases, which improve the shortcomings of TPU material's excellent elasticity but poor tactile sensation.
From a cost perspective, choosing TPU protective covers is cost-effective. From a trendy perspective, choosing TPE/PC composite phone cases highlights personality and taste. Of course, choosing a silicone phone case is very comfortable to use. (TPU crosslinker, crosslinker manufacturer, PVC adhesion promoter)
