TPU hose is between rubber and plastic, with many excellent characteristics, let's follow Jiangsu Jinluo New Material Technology Co., Ltd. to learn about it!
1. Excellent wear resistance: its Taber wear value is 0.35-0.5mg, which is small and medium-sized in plastics. The addition of lubricant can reduce the friction and further improve the wear resistance.
2. Tensile strength and elongation: the tensile strength of TPU is 2-3 times that of natural rubber and synthetic rubber. The tensile strength of polyester TPU is > 60MPa and the elongation is 410%. The tensile strength of polyurethane TPU is 50MPa and the elongation is 550%.
3. Oil resistance: the oil resistance of TPU is better than that of NBR, with excellent oil resistance life.
4. TPU is superior to natural rubber and other synthetic rubber in low temperature resistance, weather resistance and ozone resistance. Its ozone resistance and radiation resistance have special applications in aerospace industry.
5. Food medical hygiene: TPU has biocompatibility and anticoagulation, medical TPU is more and more widely used. Such as blood vessels, ureters, infusion tubes. TPU is widely used in food industry because it is non-toxic and tasteless.
6. Hardness range: the hardness of TPU is 10a-80d, and it has similar compression deformation characteristics below 15A. The TPU is elastic when the hardness is above 85A, which is a characteristic that other elastomers do not have. Therefore, TPU has high load support capacity and good suction and discharge effect.
7. TPU hose is generally divided into polyester type TPU, polyether type TPU and poly (styrene) and poly (caprolactone) type TPU hose.
