1. Shoe material
TPU is mainly used in shoe materials due to its excellent elasticity and wear resistance. Footwear products containing TPU are much better than ordinary footwear products in terms of wearing comfort, so they are widely used in footwear products, especially some sports shoes and casual shoes.
2. Film
TPU is increasingly popular because of its superior performance and environmental protection concept. At present, wherever PVC is used, TPU can become a substitute for PVC. TPU film can not only be laminated with various fabrics, but also can produce products with clear contours and stable dimensions by vacuum thermoforming. With the continuous improvement of domestic environmental protection awareness, the application of TPU is becoming more and more extensive. Among them, the areas with faster growth rate: shoe upper lining, thermal underwear, transparent underwear, transparent shoulder straps, elastic bands and medical breathable tapes.
3. Adhesive
TPU adhesive is a kind of polyurethane adhesive. The use of polyurethane adhesives in Europe and the United States has been quite common, especially in the use of shoe adhesives, almost the use of polyurethane adhesives. The use of TPU adhesive in my country is to obtain polyurethane adhesive after TPU is dissolved and processed. In the use of TPU adhesives, the four main regions are Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
4. Hose
Because TPU hose has softness, good tensile strength, impact strength and high and low temperature resistance, TPU hose is widely used in China for gas and oil transportation of aircraft, tanks, automobiles, motorcycles, machine tools and other mechanical equipment. hose. The main TPU hose manufacturers are concentrated in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei and other places.
5. Wire
TPU provides tear, abrasion and bending characteristics, and high and low temperature resistance is the key to cable performance. Therefore, in the Chinese market, TPU for advanced cables, such as control cables and power cables, is used to protect the coating materials of cables with complex designs, and their uses are becoming more and more extensive.
6. Roller
Polyurethane elastomer has a large number of applications in rollers due to its high mechanical strength, excellent wear resistance, excellent oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, outstanding compression resistance. There are mainly the following types of domestic rollers: industrial rollers, household rollers, sports equipment wheels, medical equipment wheels, and toy wheels.
