|What are the performance advantages of polyurethane TPU?

In recent years, due to the continuous research and development of new materials, polyurethaneTPUThe usage is continuing to increase, creating a low-cost, high-performance New opportunities for value-added industries. Polyurethane TPU not only has excellent high tensile strength, high tensile strength, toughness and aging resistance, but also is a mature environmentally friendly material. So what are the performance advantages of polyurethane TPU? Next, the editor will introduce it to you.

1. Superior wear resistance

Especially under working conditions in the presence of water, oil and other humidifying media, its wear resistance is often several times and dozens of times that of ordinary rubber materials. times. Although metal materials such as steel are very hard, they are not necessarily wear-resistant. For example, in the large water pumps in the Yellow River irrigation area, the metal orifice ring and protective ring of the flow-passing parts have been washed away by a large amount of sediment, and serious damage will occur within a few hundred hours. Wear and leak, but the mouth ring and protective ring covered with polyurethane elastomer have continued to operate for 1800 hours without wear and tear. Others such as the rubber rollers of the rice huller, the vibrating screen plate for coal preparation, Track and field tracks in sports fields, dynamic oil seals for cranes and forklifts, elevator wheels and roller skate wheels are also areas where polyurethane elastomers are used. One thing that needs to be mentioned here is to improve the elasticity of medium and low hardness polyurethane To improve the friction coefficient of body parts and improve the wear resistance under load, a small amount of lubricants such as aluminum disulfide, graphite or silicone oil can be added to this type of polyurethane elastomer.

2. Diversified performance

Through the selection of raw materials and the adjustment of the formula, it can be changed within a certain range to meet the different requirements of users for product performance. For example, hardness is often An important indicator for users of products is that polyurethane elastomers can be made into soft printing rollers with a Shore A hardness of about 20, and hard steel rolling rollers with a Shore D hardness of more than 70. This It is difficult for general elastomer materials to achieve. Polyurethane elastomer is a polar polymer material composed of many flexible segments and rigid segments. As the proportion of rigid segments increases and the density of polar groups increases, the elasticity The original strength and hardness of the body will increase accordingly.

3. Various processing methods

Polyurethane elastomer can be molded using the same plasticizing, mixing, and vulcanization processes as general rubber (referring to MPU); it can also be made It can be made into liquid rubber by pouring and compression molding or spraying, potting, and centrifugal molding (referring to CPU); it can also be made into pellets, which are molded by injection, extrusion, calendering, blow molding and other processes (referring to CPU) like ordinary plastics. Molded or injection molded parts can also be mechanically processed such as cutting, grinding, and drilling within a certain hardness range. The diversity of processing makes polyurethane elastomers very versatile and its application fields continue to expand.
