What is TPU Resin?
TPU Polyurethane Polymer is a basic polymer resin, typically supplied in granular form. In industrial applications, TPU granules usually contain only the main polymer, a soft segment + hard segment structure, with little or no additives, fillers, or auxiliaries. Users can further process it according to their product requirements, such as adding colorants, flame retardants, UV stabilizers, and reinforcing agents.
What are pre-formulated/composite/modified TPU materials?
For certain specific applications, such as flame-retardant cable sheaths, oil-resistant pipes, automotive parts, and transparent components, ZMS Material can re-formulate the base TPU according to customer needs, adding fillers, stabilizers, flame retardants, colorants, and additives to better suit the end application.
In this case, TPU is no longer just a “base resin,” but an application-optimized product that can be directly used for injection molding, extrusion, and molding.
Polyester TPU
Most commonly used, highly wear-resistant, and with good oil resistance.
Suitable for: cable sheathing, industrial belts, shoe materials, and machine parts.
Features: Superior wear resistance, oil and chemical resistance, higher rigidity, and excellent tear resistance; suitable for applications requiring bending.
Polyether TPU
Excellent hydrolysis resistance and low-temperature flexibility.
Suitable for: hoses, medical tubing, underwater equipment, cables, etc.
Features: Strong hydrolysis resistance, suitable for humid outdoor environments, remains flexible at low temperatures, antibacterial properties, commonly used in medical applications.
Aliphatic TPU
Highly transparent, non-yellowing, and UV resistant; widely used in high-end exterior components.
Suitable for: transparent films, protective films, automotive interiors, and electronic protective components.
Features: Long-term non-yellowing, excellent optical properties, strong UV resistance and weather resistance, suitable for use in harsh environments.
Properties of TPU Material
One very interesting property of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is that during processing, it can be both as soft and elastic as rubber and as hard as stone, making it extremely resistant to pressure when used to make plastic shells and other accessories. This ability of TPU is mainly due to the ratio of soft to hard segments in its molecules. If you need to purchase TPU materials, we hope you understand this.
High Elasticity & Flexibility: Maintains good bending performance even at low temperatures.
Excellent Abrasion Resistance: More abrasion-resistant, scratch-resistant, and impact-resistant than most rubbers and plastics.
Strong Oil & Chemical Resistance: Suitable for harsh environments containing oil and chemicals.
Versatile Processing Methods: Can be injection molded, extruded, and blown into film, adaptable to various production processes.
High Transparency & Colorability: Enables transparent, translucent, and multi-color designs.
Environmentally Friendly & Recyclable: The thermoplastic structure supports reprocessing, reducing material waste.
Wide Hardness Range: Covers materials from very soft to semi-rigid.
