TPU, or thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, is a high‑molecular polymer obtained through the polymerization of diisocyanates, chain extenders, and macromolecular diols. It exhibits high modulus, high strength, high elongation, and high elasticity, along with excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, low‑temperature resistance, and aging resistance. TPU is widely used in applications such as footwear materials, films, adhesives, pipes, wires and cables, and automotive components.

A Feasibility Study on the Application of TPU Polyurethane Elastomers in Tires
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethanes) is known as thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber. It is mainly divided into polyester-based and polyether-based types. With a wide hardness range (60HA–85HD), it offers excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, transparency, and elasticity. TPU is widely used in daily necessities, sporting goods, toys, decorative materials, and other fields. 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, would you make the selection?
Both TPE and TPU are soft materials that exhibit excellent rubber-like elasticity. Compared to TPU, TPE offers superior tactile comfort, while TPU generally provides outstanding resilience and strength. For lower-hardness products (e.g., below 30A), TPE is the preferred choice, delivering slip resistance, cushioning, shock absorption, and rebound. Conversely, for higher-hardness applications (80A or above) requiring good elasticity, TPU is the material of choice.

What should you consider when choosing hot-melt adhesive?
Hot-melt adhesives exhibit both initial tack and final strength. Only when these two properties are consistent can the adhesive maintain stable bonding with the substrate. During production, hot-melt adhesives should be formulated to resist oxidation, halogens, acids and alkalis, and to possess adequate plasticity. Since different substrates require different adhesive performance, it is essential to select a hot-melt adhesive tailored to the specific material being bonded.

Principle and Structure of 31°C Temperature-Induced Color Change in TPE/TPU Products
Thermochromic pigments are prepared from electron-transfer-type organic compound systems. Electron-transfer-type organic compounds are a class of organic chromophoric systems with a distinctive chemical structure. At specific temperatures, electron transfer induces changes in the molecular structure of these compounds, resulting in a color transition.

“The claim that environmental regulations are driving up raw material prices is a false premise.”
Since the launch of central environmental protection inspections at the end of 2015, with a resolute determination to tackle deep-rooted problems and the courage to make tough choices, stringent “zero-tolerance” measures have been implemented to combat pollution. Over two years, these inspections covered all 31 provincial-level regions and municipalities across the country, resulting in accountability for more than 15,000 individuals. The tangible results in curbing pollution have been widely recognized and highly praised by the public. At the same time, however, claims that “environmental inspections have triggered a wave of price hikes” have gained considerable traction.
