TPU Processing Technology & Applications
Your current position:Home > Processing > TPU Processing Technology & ApplicationsI.Typical process method of TPU is extrusion and injection. Pay attention to the items below:
£¨1£©Absolutely dry before processing as TPU has strong hygroscopicity;
£¨2£©Improve precision of temperature control as temperature dependency of adhesiveness is slow;
£¨3£©Consider structure and draw ratio of screw rod from material properties (e.g. compression ratio, channel depth , L/D, etc.);
£¨4£©Consider structure of mould from flowability of material (won't cause stranded nozzle, flow channel and pouring gate);
£¨5£©Power of moulding machine shall be set larger (1.5-2 times more than general purpose resin);
£¨6£©Annealing treatment to recover initial properties (especially non- fully plastified material);
£¨7£©Bad Hydrolysis resistance, easy hydrolysis under high-temperature or moisture conditions, especially low-hardness TPU.
II.Drying temperature & time
Hardness is 90A and less, 80¡ª90¡æ¡Á3-4h
Hardness is 95A and over, 90¡ª100¡æ¡Á3-4h
Low-hardness product at high drying temperature may become binder, excessive long drying time may cause product turn yellow.

Processing method of TPEE£º
Before processing, TPEE shall be continuously dried for 3-5 hours in blower at 90¨C110oC; after drying and processing, it can't be placed in damp air which may affect its performance; return material can be mixed for reuse but quantity added can't exceed 25%.Injection moulding: material temperature shall be 5~15oC higher than melting point of the product, mould temperature is 20~50oC, injection pressure is 60~100MPa and injection speed is medium-to-low speed. Extrusion & blowing moulding: draw ratio of screw rod shall be 25£º1, temperature of feed cylinder shall be 5~10oC higher than melting point of the product and rotating speed of the screw rod is medium-to-low speed
Processing method of TPU film:
Rolling/pasting (rolling can be achieved via all industrial treatment processes), e.g. hot sticking, thermoforming, hot rolling, plate rolling, adhesive rolling, hot-melting bonding, ultrasonic wave and high frequency.
Welding/the best welding methods include:
high-frequency dielectric welding, hot-gas welding, heating medium import welding and ultrasonic welding.
