Tpu is a polymer containing carbamate groups (-NHCOO-) in the molecular chain. It is a segmented copolymer with hard and soft nodes. It has plasticity, mechanical strength and rubber elasticity. Due to this unique structure, tpu can be widely used in: shoes, waterproof films, flow films, extruded pipes, waterproof dissociative films, automobiles, flame retardant cables, etc. Unique advantages of TPU material Compared with other materials, the mechanical properties of TPU are adjustable. Has excellent abrasion resistance, tear strength, tensile strength, high elongation at break, bending resistance, oil resistance, aging resistance, weather resistance, high water resistance, high permeability, hydrolysis resistance, environmental pollution resistance, good biological Compatibility, non-toxic and non-polluting.
Table performance comparison of tpu material and other materials So at present, TPU is the best substitute for PVC. This is mainly not only the tensile strength is much better than PVC, but also the low temperature resistance is unmatched by PVC; in addition, the degradability, antibacterial and plasticizer-free properties are better than PVC. For high-end products, TPU is a good alternative to PVC.
Tpu film has the advantages of high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, strong toughness, and environmental protection. It is gradually replacing PVC and other materials in various fields, and its domestic consumption is also increasing wildly. With the strengthening of our awareness of environmental protection and the improvement of technology step by step, the scope of application of TPU film continues to expand. In the early 2000s, that is, from 2010 to the following four years, the average annual growth rate of the market was about 15%.
TPU film has the advantages of low temperature resistance, high toughness, high strength, environmentally friendly decomposability, and "breathability". It is replacing PVC, EVA, artificial leather and other materials in various fields, and its consumption in China is also increasing. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection in the whole society, and with the further development of technology, the application scope of TPU continues to expand. The overall market growth rate averaged 15% per year from 2010 to 2014. Characteristics of TPU film TPU film is formed by melt extrusion of tpu raw material. The film has the advantages of high temperature resistance, high toughness, high strength, environmental protection, easy decomposition, and "breathability". They are gradually replacing pvc, eva, artificial leather and other materials, especially in the field of diaphragms. For example, footwear consumes the largest amount of TPU film, such as some sports shoes, outer height-enhancing shoes, and outdoor shoes that require a large amount of film.
Sports equipment is mainly concentrated on water assault boats, inflatable boats, and kites on the water, mainly using polyether TPU film; waterproof tpu film for home spinning, first aid clothing, outdoor supplies, medical supplies (surgical clothing).
