Polyurethane polyurethane

What is thermoplastic polyurethane TPU760?

Elastomer is one of the most widely used polymers that are around us and we deal with them in our daily life.
These polymers are actually flexible materials with high elasticity, which are used in the production of various products due to their unique characteristics, and one of the common examples is thermoplastic polyurethane.
Polyurethane thermoplastic is known by the exclusive name of TPU, which has features such as high flexibility, high resistance to wear, and the ability to process with any type of molten material.
Among other features of this product, we can mention the anti-heat capability, which are very resistant to the ultraviolet rays of the sun.
High resistance to deformation, excellent adhesion and recyclability distinguish TPU760 from other polymers.
Thermoplastics are actually a stable material without softeners and any type of halogen products, the cost of making it is very low due to fast processing.
TPU is colorless transparent granules that can be colored and when combined with other polymers, they will have a very favorable and economical performance.

Applications of thermoplastic polyurethane

It is necessary to know that thermoplastic polyurethane is produced with different grades and grade 760 is the most important polymer in the adhesive industry; Because it creates a very high adhesive strength, and this has caused it to be used in the production of thermal glue, silica glue and resin.
Also, this product is known as an excellent sealant due to its elasticity and flexibility, and it does not leak from the seams in any way.
Because these products are non-toxic, they are used to glue all kinds of pipes that are used to transport drinking water.
In the rubber manufacturing industry, TPU polymer increases the tensile strength of rubber and makes it resistant to wear.
Also, in the automotive industry, in addition to tires, it is used in the production of accessory parts such as safety belts and wire and cable insulation.
These thermoplastics are very light in weight, and this is the reason that the types of sheets produced from them are not heavy, and the sheets are produced with characteristics such as resistance to wear, corrosion, cold, heat, and oxygen.

Among the many other uses of this product, the following can be mentioned:

• In the production of all kinds of agricultural and fishing products
• Color and thinner
• All kinds of sports equipment
• Phone covers
• In the manufacture of textile fibers
• In the production of furniture
• Medical supplies (artificial bone, joint prosthesis, suture thread, lens, pill box)

The biocompatibility of this polymer and other mentioned features have made the above industries to use this product abundantly, which is the main use of TPU in the adhesive and rubber industry.
