乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 introduces phthalate-free, soft TPUs
The Woodlands, TX 鈥� The Polyurethanes division of 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Corporation (NYSE:HUN) announced today the introduction of two new grades of patented, unplasticized, soft thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs).听 IROGRAN庐 A60E4902 is a Shore 55A polyester, and IROGRAN庐 A65P4910 is a Shore 65A polyether. The exemplary feature of these grades is that they achieve a very soft Shore hardness through the basic chemistry of the TPU formulations, without the use of plasticizers or other modifiers, making them ideal for PVC replacement where the presence of phthalates or other plasticizers may be an issue.
听
Due to their unplasticized formulations, the materials are not tacky, do not exude a surface film, and maintain these characteristics and properties without the prospect of migration. They also have excellent drape and hand with a very supple feel.
Other key properties and characteristics of the TPUs are:
鈥⑻鼸xceptional resiliency, with high elastic recovery
鈥⑻齃ow extractables
鈥⑻鼿igh clarity, low yellowness index
鈥⑻鼼ood abrasion, tear, and elongation
鈥⑻鼸xcellent processing with fast cycling
鈥⑻齀ROGRAN庐 A60E4902 is USP Class VI compliant
Both IROGRAN庐 A60E4902 and A65P4910 grades are formulated for technical extrusion, injection molding, and film processing. They can also be solvated for cast film and dip molding. With exceptional softness and outstanding resiliency, these resins are ideal in a variety of applications, including: overmolding, toys, tubing, PVC & silicone replacement, gaskets, and compounding, to name just a few.
