The areas where TPU materials will be applied

1. Shoe material

TPU is used in shoe materials mainly due to its excellent elasticity and wear resistance. Footwear products containing TPU are much more comfortable than ordinary footwear products, so they are more widely used in high-grade footwear products, especially some sports shoes and casual shoes.

2. Film

TPU is increasingly popular for its superior performance and environmental protection concept. At present, wherever PVC is used, TPU can become a substitute for PVC. TPU films can not only be bonded to a variety of fabrics, but also can be used by vacuum thermoforming to produce products with clear contours and stable dimensions. With the continuous improvement of domestic environmental awareness, the application of TPU is becoming more and more extensive. Among them, the increase rate is relatively fast: upper lining, thermal underwear, transparent underwear, transparent shoulder straps, elastic bands and medical breathable tape.

3. Adhesive

TPU adhesive is a kind of polyurethane adhesive. The use of polyurethane adhesives in Europe and the United States has become quite common, especially in the use of footwear adhesives, almost the use of polyurethane adhesives. The use of TPU adhesive in China is to obtain polyurethane adhesive after TPU dissolution and processing. In the use of TPU adhesives, it is mainly based on the four main regions of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

4. Hose

Because TPU hose has soft, good tensile strength, impact strength and high and low temperature resistance, TPU hose is widely used as a gas and oil hose for aircraft, tanks, automobiles, motorcycles, machine tools and other mechanical equipment in China. The main TPU hose manufacturing enterprises are concentrated in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei and other places.

5. Wires

TPU provides tear, abrasion and bending resistance, and high and low temperature resistance is the key to cable performance. Therefore, in the Chinese market, higher cables, such as control cables and power cables with TPUs, are used to protect the coating materials of complex cables, and their use is becoming more and more extensive.

6. Roller

Polyurethane elastomer with its high mechanical strength, superior wear resistance, excellent oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, outstanding compression resistance and make it a large number of applications in rollers. Domestic rollers mainly have the following types: industrial rollers, household rollers, sports equipment wheels, medical equipment wheels, toy wheels.

7. Plastic modification

Can be used for PA, ABS plasticizing, but the cost is higher.

8. Ink

The main advantages of TPU ink are: excellent adhesion, low viscosity, good flexure resistance, excellent wear resistance, high gloss, weather resistance, can resist any sun exposure including UV irradiation, and perform very good toughness and durability in various application areas. Inks made from aromatic and aliphatic TPUs can be used in a variety of climatic and environmental conditions, and the product has stable and outstanding performance.

TPU ink has a smooth appearance, good shading and alcohol resistance, strong adhesion and other characteristics, mainly suitable for TPU and other plastic surface decoration. Such as mobile phones, laptops, shoes, car leather chairs, sofas, leather goods, handbags, inflatable entertainment TPU products, umbrellas, raincoats and other TPU inks used in metal, glass, poor adhesion rate, easy to drop paint.
