Summary: According to different classification criteria, TPU can have many different classifications

1、 Classification of TPU

According to different classification criteria, TPU can have many different classifications. For example, according to the soft segment structure, it can be divided into polyester type, polyether type, and butadiene type, which respectively contain ester group, ether group, or butene group. According to the hard segment structure, it can be divided into urethane type and urethane urea type, which are respectively obtained by diol chain extenders or diamine chain extenders. The common classification is into polyester type and polyether type. It can be divided into pure thermoplastic and semi thermoplastic according to the presence or absence of cross-linking. The former is a pure linear structure without cross-linking bonds; The latter contains a small amount of crosslinking bonds such as urea methyl ester. According to the purpose of the finished product, it can be divided into special-shaped parts (various mechanical parts), pipes (sheaths, bar profiles), films (thin sheets, thin plates), as well as adhesives, coatings, fibers, etc. (TPU crosslinker, crosslinker manufacturer, PVC adhesion promoter)

2、 Application of TPU

In 1958, Goodrich Chemical Company (now renamed as Lubrizol) in the United States first registered the TPU product brand Estane. Over the next 40 years, more than 20 product brands have been introduced worldwide, each with several series of products. At present, there are mainly TPU raw material manufacturers such as BASF, Covestro, Lubrizol, Huntsman, Wanhua Chemical, Shanghai Heng'an, Ruihua, Xuchuan Chemical, as well as TPU crosslinking agent manufacturer "Guangyuan Ruifeng New Materials Co., Ltd.

As a high-performance elastomer, TPU has a wide range of downstream product directions and is widely used in daily necessities, sports goods, toys, decorative materials and other fields. Here are a few examples.

1. Shoe material

TPU is mainly used for shoe materials due to its excellent elasticity and wear resistance. TPU containing footwear products have much better comfort than ordinary footwear products, so they are widely used in high-end footwear products, especially some sports shoes and casual shoes.

2. Flexible hose

Due to its softness, good tensile strength, impact strength, and resistance to high and low temperatures, TPU hoses are widely used in China as gas and oil hoses for mechanical equipment such as aircraft, tanks, automobiles, motorcycles, and machine tools.

3. Cable

TPU provides tear resistance, wear resistance, and bending characteristics, and high and low temperature resistance is the key to cable performance. So in the Chinese market, TPU is used for advanced cables such as control cables and power cables to protect the coating materials of complex designed cables, and its applications are becoming increasingly widespread.

4. Medical devices

TPU is a safe, stable, and high-quality PVC substitute material that does not contain harmful chemicals such as phthalates, which can migrate to blood or other liquids in medical catheters or bags and cause side effects. Specially developed extrusion grade and injection grade TPU can be easily used with just a few adjustments to existing PVC equipment.
