Product Definition:
Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is a high performance thermoplastic elastomer. It has excellent resistance to oil, grease and abrasion. Additionally, it is also very tough and durable with good tensile strength. TPU can be used in a variety of applications including footwear, automotive parts, seals and gaskets.
Polyols:
Polyols are organic compounds containing oxygen and sugar. They are primarily used as a foaming or swelling agent in various industries including paints & coatings, plastics, adhesives & sealants, printing inks and cosmetics among others. Polyol resins when blended with other polymers such as polyamide or polypropylene can be utilized to manufacture thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).
Diisocyanate:
Diisocyanate is an organic compound, which contains a group of oxygen and nitrogen. The chemical formula for the product is (OCO)nNC(C4H4)2. It has a colorless liquid form with a mild odor. Diisocyanates are used in polyurethane products as crosslinking agents to make them more durable and flexible at the same time along with increasing their strength which makes them resistant to mechanical stress & heat.
