The excellent performance of TPU will significantly boost its applications in the automotive sector.
In the era of automotive lightweighting, material design has become a key research topic in the industry. In addition to the extensive use of plastics such as PP, PVC, PU, and PA, reinforcing materials like carbon fiber and glass fiber have also emerged as hot research areas attracting significant market attention in the age of automotive lightweighting. With the technological advancements in thermoplastic elastomer products, their applications in the automotive sector are becoming increasingly widespread. Currently, commonly used thermoplastic elastomers in automobiles include polyolefin-based types (TPO, TPV), polyester-based types (TPEE), polyurethane-based types (TPU), and styrene-based types (TPS).

TPU, or thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, is a high-molecular-weight polymer obtained through the polymerization reaction of diisocyanates, chain extenders, and macromolecular diols. It features high modulus, high strength, high elongation, and high elasticity, as well as excellent resistance to abrasion, oil, low temperatures, and aging. TPU finds wide-ranging applications in fields such as footwear materials, films, adhesives, pipes, wires and cables, and automotive components.

What should you pay attention to when choosing hot melt adhesive?
The adhesion of hot-melt glue is divided into initial adhesion and final adhesion. Only when the initial adhesion and final adhesion are consistent can the hot-melt glue maintain stable bonding with the adhered material. During the production of hot-melt glue, it is essential to ensure that the glue possesses antioxidant properties, resistance to halogens, acid-alkali resistance, and plasticizing ability. Since the adhesion performance of hot-melt glue varies depending on the material of the adhered object, it is crucial to select the appropriate hot-melt glue based on the specific material being bonded.

Feasibility Study on the Application of TPU Polyurethane Elastomers in Tires
TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethanes) is a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber. It is primarily categorized into polyester-based and polyether-based types. TPU boasts a wide hardness range (60 HA to 85 HD), excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, transparency, and superior elasticity. As a result, it finds extensive applications in fields such as daily-use products, sporting goods, toys, and decorative materials. Halogen-free flame-retardant TPU can also replace soft PVC to meet the growing environmental requirements across various industries.

When choosing between TPE and TPU for elastomer products, which would you select?
Both TPE and TPU are soft materials, both possessing excellent rubber-like elasticity. In comparison, TPE excels in terms of tactile comfort, while TPU demonstrates superior elasticity and strength. For products with lower hardness (such as below 30A), TPE is the preferred choice, as it can provide anti-slip, cushioning, shock-absorbing, and resilient effects. On the other hand, for products requiring high elasticity at higher hardness levels (80A and above), TPU is the better material to use.

“Focusing on environmental protection leads to rising raw material prices” is a false proposition.
中央环保督察巡视自2015年底开展以来，以猛药去疴的决心和壮士断腕的勇气，对污染采取了“零容忍”的铁腕治理措施，两年内覆盖了全国31个省区市，超过1.5万人被问责，在治理污染方面的成效有目共睹，受到广大群众的高度评价。但与此同时，“环保督查导致涨价潮”的说法也甚嚣尘上。
