The purpose of TPU used in which industries

TPU is mainly categorized into the following according to its applications

1. Shoe materials TPU is used in shoe materials mainly due to its excellent elasticity and abrasion resistance. The wearing comfort of TPU-containing footwear is much better than that of ordinary footwear, therefore, it is more widely used in high-grade footwear, especially in some sports shoes and casual shoes.

2. Film TPU is becoming more and more popular because of its superior performance and environmental protection concept. At present, wherever the use of PVC, TPU can become a substitute for PVC, TPU film can not only be laminated with a variety of fabrics, but also vacuum thermoforming method to produce clear contours, dimensional stability of the product. With the continuous improvement of domestic environmental protection awareness, the application of TPU is also more and more extensive. One of the faster increase in the field: shoe lining, thermal underwear, transparent underwear, transparent straps, elastic bands and medical use of breathable tape.

3. Adhesive TPU adhesive belongs to a kind of polyurethane adhesive. The use of polyurethane adhesive in Europe and the United States has been quite common, especially in the use of footwear adhesive, almost using polyurethane adhesive. The use of TPU adhesive in our country is to dissolve TPU, after processing to obtain polyurethane adhesive. In the use of TPU adhesive, mainly in Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, four major regions.

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

5. Electrical wires TPU provides tear resistance, abrasion resistance and bending characteristics, high and low temperature resistance is the key to the performance of the cable. Therefore, in the Chinese market, higher cables such as control cables and power cables with TPU, used to protect the design of complex cable coating material, the use is also increasingly widespread.

6. Roller Polyurethane elastomers with its high mechanical strength, excellent abrasion resistance, excellent oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, outstanding resistance to compression and make it a large number of applications in the roller. Domestic rollers are mainly the following: 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
