①, Shoe materials
TPU is used in shoe materials mainly because of its excellent elasticity and wear resistance. Shoes containing elastomer TPU are much more comfortable to wear than ordinary shoes. Therefore, they are widely used in high-end shoes, especially some sports shoes and casual shoes.
②, Hose
Because TPU hoses are soft, have good tensile strength, impact strength and high and low temperature resistance, TPU hoses are widely used as gas and oil hoses for aircraft, tanks, automobiles, motorcycles, machine tools and other mechanical equipment in China.
③, Cables
Polyurethane elastomer TPU provides tear resistance, wear resistance and bending characteristics, and high and low temperature resistance is the key to cable performance. Therefore, in the Chinese market, high-end cables such as control cables and power cables use TPU to protect the coating materials of complex cables, and their uses are becoming increasingly widespread.
④. Medical devices
TPU is a safe, stable, and high-quality PVC alternative material. It does not contain harmful chemical substances such as phthalates, which migrate into the blood or other liquids in medical catheters or medical bags to produce side effects. In addition, the specially developed extrusion-grade and injection-molding-grade TPU can be easily used with only a little adjustment on existing PVC equipment.
