What is TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)?
Thermoplastic polyurethane is a versatile class of polyurethane plastics known for its exceptional elasticity, transparency, and resistance to oil, grease, and abrasion. Structurally, TPUs are thermoplastic elastomers composed of linear segmented block copolymers with alternating hard segments (rigid, crystalline domains) and soft segments (flexible, amorphous domains).
TPU is synthesized through the reaction of:
Diisocyanates with short-chain diols (chain extenders) → forming hard segments
Diisocyanates with long-chain diols (polyols) → forming soft segments
By adjusting the ratio, molecular weight, and chemical composition of these components, manufacturers can engineer TPUs with tailored properties-from ultra-soft elastomers to rigid, high-strength materials.
| TPU Type | Best For | Key Advantages |
|---|---|---|
| Polyether-based TPU | Hydrolysis resistance, microbial resistance, extreme low-temperature flexibility | Excellent for wet environments, medical devices, and Arctic applications |
| Polyester-based TPU | Oil & grease resistance, mechanical strength | Ideal for industrial machinery, automotive parts, and fuel-resistant components |
| Aliphatic TPU | UV stability, non-yellowing, optical clarity | Used in transparent films, wearable tech, and outdoor applications |
Innovations in TPU:
Crosslinked TPU enhances heat resistance and durability.
Bio-based TPU (e.g., Elastollan® N, Pearlthane® ECO) offers sustainable alternatives for eco-conscious applications.
1 High abrasion resistance - outperforms rubber and many plastics
2 Low-temperature flexibility (-40°C to +80°C range)
3 High shear strength - withstands mechanical stress
4 Elastic recovery - retains shape after deformation
5 Transparency - suitable for optical applications
6 Chemical resistance - resists oils, greases, and solvents
| Type | Base Material | Typical Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Polyester-based TPU | Adipic acid esters | Belts, seals, industrial parts |
| Polyether-based TPU | Tetrahydrofuran (THF) ethers | Medical tubing, underwater gear |
1. Automotive - instrument panels, CVJ boots, airbag covers
2. Industrial - caster wheels, drive belts, hydraulic seals
3. Consumer Goods - phone cases, keyboard protectors, footwear
4. Medical - catheters, surgical tubing (biocompatible grades)
5. Sports & Leisure - inflatable rafts, ski goggles, wearable tech
6. Film & Sheet - transparent protective covers, packaging
TPU's adaptability makes it indispensable across industries-wherever durability, flexibility, and chemical resistance are critical.
