2019 TPU Industry Trends
Release time:
26 Apr,2019
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is gaining increasing popularity due to its superior performance and environmentally friendly nature. Today, wherever PVC is used—for example, in adhesive films for footwear, laminating adhesives for lingerie, hot-melt adhesives for ink screen printing, or bonding agents for wood and aluminum—TPU can serve as a viable substitute. Moreover, TPU offers advantages that PVC simply cannot match.
TPU not only boasts excellent high tensile strength, tear resistance, toughness, and aging resistance, but it is also a well-established environmentally friendly material. Today, TPU is widely used in applications such as footwear, apparel, inflatable toys, water and underwater sports equipment, medical devices, fitness equipment, automotive seat materials, umbrellas, suitcases, and handbags.
TPU film is produced from TPU pellets through processes such as calendering, cast film extrusion, blow molding, and coating. It is currently widely used in athletic footwear for applications including sole and upper decorations, airbags, air cushions, and oil pockets.
