Thermoplastic Polyurethane

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is any of a class of polyurethane plastics with many properties, including elasticity, transparency, and resistance to oil, grease and abrasion. Technically, they are thermoplastic elastomers consisting of linear segmented block copolymers composed of hard and soft segments. They come in different hardness’s ranging from 80-100.

Uses

TPU has many applications including automotive instrument panels, caster wheels, power tools, sporting goods, medical devices, drive belts, footwear, inflatable rafts, and a variety of extruded film, sheet and profile applications. TPU is also a popular material found in outer cases of mobile electronic devices, such as mobile phones. It is also used to make keyboard protectors for laptops.

TPU is well known for its applications in performance films, wire and cable jacketing, hose and tube, in adhesive and textile coating applications and as an impact modifier of other polymers.[4] TPU pellets are used as Adidas' most recent cushioning technology, known as Boost. Several thousands of TPU pellets are bound together to create a comfortable sole for the shoe.

TPU is a common filament material for use in fused filament fabrication 3D printing due to the fact that it is an elastic thermoplastic which makes it ideal for printing objects that need to be flexible and elastic. The fact that TPU is a thermoplastic also allows it to be melted, extruded, then cooled back into a solid which is necessary when 3D printing using fused filament fabrication.

Thermoplastic Elastomer / Thermoplastic Rubber

Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPEs), also known as thermoplastic rubbers, are a class of polymers that combine the properties of both thermoplastics and elastomers. They offer the processing advantages of thermoplastics (like injection molding and extrusion) while also exhibiting the flexibility and elasticity of traditional rubbers.

Key Characteristics of TPEs:

Processing Advantages:
TPEs can be easily processed using traditional thermoplastic techniques, making them a versatile material for various applications.

Elastomeric Properties:

They retain the flexibility and elasticity of rubber, allowing them to be stretched, bent, and deformed without permanent damage.

Recyclability:

Unlike thermoset rubbers, TPEs can be melted and reshaped, making them recyclable and reducing material waste.

Cost-Effectiveness:

TPEs can be processed faster and with less energy than thermoset rubbers, leading to lower production costs.

Applications of TPEs:

Automotive:

TPEs are used in various automotive applications, including engine components, interior trim, and sealing systems.

Electronics:

They are used in electronic devices, such as mobile phone casings and connectors, due to their flexibility and durability.

Medical Devices:

TPEs are used in medical applications due to their biocompatibility and ease of processing.

Sports and Recreation:

They are used in footwear, sporting goods, and other recreational products.

Household Goods:

TPEs are used in various household applications, including adhesives, toys, and appliances.

Examples of TPEs:

Styrenic Block Copolymers (TPE-S):

These are a common type of TPE, known for their flexibility, durability, and resistance to impact.

Polyolefin Blends (TPE-O):

These TPEs offer excellent chemical resistance and are commonly used in automotive and industrial applications.

Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPE-U):

These TPEs provide a balance of flexibility, strength, and durability.

Thermoplastic Copolyesters (TPE-E):

These TPEs offer good chemical resistance and are used in various applications, including automotive and medical.

Masterbatch

A Masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of colorants or additives in a carrier material, like a resin or wax, used to add color or impart specific properties to plastics. It's a convenient way to integrate these ingredients into a final plastic product, ensuring uniform color and consistent properties.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Composition:

Masterbatches typically contain pigments or other additives, and a polymer base that acts as a carrier.

Purpose:

They are used to add color to plastics, or to modify other properties like UV resistance, anti-static properties, or flame retardancy.

Benefits:

Using masterbatches can simplify the process of adding colorants or additives, ensuring a more uniform and efficient result than directly adding them to the base resin.

Types:

Masterbatches can be categorized as color masterbatches (for coloring) or additive masterbatches (for imparting other properties).

Applications:

They are widely used in various industries, including PP, PE, ABS,PU foam,PA6, POM, PC & PVC products, cables, and other plastic applications where precise color and material properties are crucial.
