What's the feature of tpu material

TPU is the abbreviation of Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer. Generally, TPU is divided into two types: Polyester type and Polyether type. This is one of the building materials. In fact, it is also a common material. TPU has strong high tension and high tensile force. It is a mature environmental protection material and has obtained the relevant certification of International Green Environmental Protection Materials.

One of our product, TPU coated webbing, adopts a method of covering the tpu material on the outer layer, which makes the webbing more durable.

So what are the other features of TPU? Here we enumerate several points.

1.   High wear resistance. It can be seen from the comparison of Taber abrasion index of tpu and other materials.

2.   Wide range of hardness. By changing the ratio of each reaction component of TPU, products with different hardness can be obtained. As the hardness increases, the product still maintains good elasticity.

3.   High mechanical strength. TPU products have outstanding bearing capacity and shock absorption performance.

4.   Good processing performance. TPU can be processed by common thermoplastic material processing methods such as injection, extrusion, calendering and so on. At the same time, TPU and certain polymer materials can be processed together to obtain polymer alloys with complementary properties.

5.   Outstanding cold resistance performance. The glass transition temperature of tpu is relatively low. It can still maintains good elasticity, flexibility and other physical properties at minus 35 degrees.

6.   Oil resistance, water resistance, and mildew resistance.

7.   Good recyclability

TPU has many other features that we doesn't list above. One or two feature may place import roles in one field.
