Product Description

Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer—also known as thermoplastic polyurethane rubber and abbreviated as TPU—is a polymer material synthesized from diisocyanates, oligomeric polyols, and chain extenders. It exhibits a unique "soft-hard" segmented structure: the "soft segments" consist primarily of oligomeric polyols and determine low-temperature performance and elasticity, while the "hard segments" are composed of diisocyanates and small-molecule chain extenders, influencing the softening/melting temperature and high-temperature performance.

Polyether Polyols

Polyether polyols are oligomers featuring ether linkages in the backbone and multiple terminal hydroxyl groups, primarily produced through the addition polymerization of an initiator and an epoxide. They are core raw materials in the polyurethane industry and are widely used in applications such as foams, coatings, and adhesives.
