After aging, the TPU film tends to become oily, sticky, not soft enough, and the color is not full enough?

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is known for its versatility and excellent performance, and its derivative TPU film plays a pivotal role in many industries such as footwear, clothing, medical supplies, and indoor soft packaging. As global environmental awareness increases, more new application scenarios emerge and demands continue to change, practitioners in the field of TPU film manufacturing have also increased their material requirements to meet the changing needs of these industries.

Generally, TPU manufacturers can make TPU softer by increasing the proportion of TPU soft segments or by increasing the proportion of plasticizer to meet the unique requirements of specific application scenarios. However, the former will increase the cost, and the latter will lead to a decrease in the mechanical properties of TPU and the risk of precipitation and stickiness. With the continuous expansion of the TPU film field, excellent soft touch, no oil and stickiness, easy processing, etc. have become key factors to improve user experience and product quality. Simply relying on the above methods can no longer meet the requirements. Looking for a product with better performance? It is imperative to replace traditional TPU with good materials.

Why can Structural soft modified TPU particles replace TPU in the film field?

1. More flexible and durable

TPU films usually choose particles with a hardness of Shore 80-85A, which limits its application in scenarios with high soft and elastic requirements. However, the hardness of Structural soft modified TPU particles can be as low as Shore when used in the film field. 60A, has good resilience and wear resistance. Compared with TPU films of the same hardness, it is more flexible and durable, and there is no risk of precipitation and stickiness.

Therefore, it is an ideal material to replace traditional TPU in applications such as clothing, leather, and car door panels that require lower hardness of the film.

2. Unique and long-lasting skin-friendly touch

Compared with many TPUs, Structural soft modified TPU particles can give film products a unique and long-lasting skin-friendly touch. It uses a tape-casting process that requires no additional coating steps to achieve a unique, long-lasting soft touch.

This makes it perform better in film applications that require human contact and have higher requirements for touch, such as lettering films, swimming equipment, shoes and clothing, sports shooting gloves, etc. In this case, traditional TPU may not provide the same unique long-lasting skin-friendly feel.

3. Matte effect

In some specific application scenarios, the high-end visual effect of matte matte is often pursued. The common processing method of TPU film is to achieve this effect by using treatment agents or rollers, which not only increases the processing procedures but also increases the cost.

Sitefu's soft modified TPU particles can achieve the original high-grade matte effect without processing, which makes it a reliable choice for film applications such as high-end clothing packaging, automotive interior soft packaging, and indoor flexible packaging, and will not change randomly. It loses its effect due to changes in time, environment and other factors.

4. Safe, environmentally friendly, healthy and non-toxic

Whether it is in contact with the human body or in medical and healthcare applications, as well as the environment, safety, environmental protection, health and non-toxicity are crucial. Sitefu soft modified TPU particles adopt solvent-free technology, do not contain plasticizers or softening oils, and do not contain DMF. They are 100% non-toxic, odorless, low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and recyclable, and are better for the human body and the environment. Friendly, promotes recycling in the green economy and is ideal for manufacturers aiming to reduce their carbon footprint.

5. Greater freedom in color design

Structural soft modified TPU particles not only provide advantages in terms of touch and practicality in the film field, but also give the film a higher degree of color selectivity, making the color of the final product more full and bright, giving designers unlimited design freedom. Opening the door to sustainable alternatives to TPU in the film field.

Although TPU has been widely used in various fields due to its versatility, the emergence of Structural soft modified TPU particles has provided a new idea for the film industry and even more industries. Especially when there are high requirements for soft elasticity, durability, long-lasting skin-friendly touch, matte matte effect, etc., the unique combination of properties of Structural soft modified TPU particles makes it an ideal choice in many industries (from automotive and apparel to healthcare and indoor flexible packaging applications) is a strong contender to replace traditional TPU.

As SILICO continues to advance in materials science research and development, the role of SILICO soft modified TPU particles in replacing traditional TPU will only continue to expand, providing manufacturers with more options to optimize products to meet their needs. specific needs.
