TPU in ink
Functions in Coatings
TPU ink binders, owing to the large number of polar groups in their main resin molecular segments, exhibit excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates. With a diverse array of raw materials and additives, and significant variability in resin composition and binder formulation, a broad spectrum of polyurethane ink binders can be synthesized through tailored molecular design, thereby meeting the demanding application requirements of various substrates in the printing industry.

TPU ink vehicle
TPU ink vehicle is a liquid with excellent flexibility, temperature resistance, weatherability, oil and grease resistance, hydrolytic stability, drying properties, solvent release, and good wetting and dispersing characteristics, making it widely used across various sectors of the ink industry. It possesses a certain viscosity and adhesive strength. As a pigment carrier, it blends and binds powdered pigments and other solid particles, enabling the adhered pigment to ultimately adhere to the surface of the printed product. Polyurethane vehicles influence and determine an ink’s adhesion strength, curing speed, and drying rate, while also imparting physical properties such as gloss, abrasion resistance, yellowing resistance, and impact resistance. They largely dictate the ink’s viscosity, tack, yield value, and flowability; thus, high‑quality inks stem from high‑quality vehicles. If the vehicle selected during ink formulation does not meet application requirements or is unsuitable for the ink’s production process, the print may not only lack vibrant, glossy colors but also trigger a cascade of quality issues—such as plate smearing, setoff, show‑through, paper fuzz pickup, and poor ink transfer—thereby hindering normal printing operations. Consequently, TPU vehicles have a significant impact on ink quality.
Main product series
After overcoming technical challenges, Jintang Technology’s R&D center has developed a series of TPU products that have been widely adopted in the ink industry. Jintang Technology’s TPU products are an ideal choice for domestic substitution of imported alternatives. The main product lines include:
Products such as JT-2022, JT-2023, JT-2024, JT-2025, and JT-2026 offer hardnesses ranging from 65A to 78D, meeting the diverse TPU requirements of the ink industry.
