What is the thermoplastic TPU polyurethane elastomer granule?
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is a polymer created when diisocyanate molecules, such as toluene diisocyanate (TDI) or diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), react and polymerize with macromolecular polyols and low-molecular polyols (chain extenders). With a density between 0.88 and 1.2 g/cm³, it usually takes the shape of round or diced pellets and appears natural, translucent, or transparent.
TPU exhibits excellent physical characteristics, including low long-term compression set, good elongation, and high tensile strength. It also has outstanding processability and can be molded using various techniques such as casting, blow molding, extrusion, and injection molding. Additionally, it offers excellent resistance to weather, oil, high and low temperatures, and biocompatibility, making it recognized as a green and eco-friendly material and a perfect substitute for environmentally harmful materials like PVC.
Application range of TPU
- Sporting Goods: Used in the midsoles of athletic shoes for impact resistance, abrasion resistance, and resilience, enhancing comfort during exercise.
- Sports Equipment: Utilized in manufacturing sports equipment such as balls, roller skates, and snowboards due to its elasticity and wear resistance, increasing durability and stability.
- Medical Devices: Commonly used in medical devices like catheters, infusion tubing, hemodialysis membranes, and rehabilitation aids (prosthetics, orthotics) for safety and effectiveness, improving patients' quality of life.
- Automotive Industry: Used in automotive interior components such as seats, steering wheels, and door panels, providing a pleasant tactile feel and enhancing ride comfort.
