Differences between CPU and TPU

2018-12-21

Key words: polyurethane elastomer; casting polyurethane elastomer; thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer


Polyurethane Elastomer (PUE) is a kind of polymer synthetic materials with excellent comprehensive properties, including casting polyurethane elastomer (CPU), thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) and blended polyurethane elastomer (MPU), microporous polyurethane elastomer, polyurethane waterproof material, sole material, paving material, etc.


Polyurethane Elastomer


TPU thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) is also a new type of macromolecule synthetic material between rubber and plastics. In practical application, TPU is mostly used as a renewal product of rubber products. It also has excellent wear resistance (the best elastomer) with CPU. It is solid at room temperature, and becomes liquid by heating or solution method. After processing and setting, it becomes solid again. Polyurethane material in state. TPU is one of the most widely used and productive polyurethane elastomers, such as sports equipment: skating wheels, footwear, buckles, accessories, snow boots, etc. Industrial Parts: Seals, Automobile Parts (Dust-proof Tube, Tube Fittings, Shock Absorption Analysis, Industrial Wheel, Conveyor Belt etc.) Pipe material: air pressure pipe, fire water pipe, medical pipe. Wires and cables, pads, watchbands, thin films, etc. Shoe Material: sole, ornament, air cushion, accessories, skins, nails, labels, etc.

TPU and PU are essentially made up of the same material. But in making these two kinds of rubber. They don't use the same formula. These two compounds can be divided into many properties.


The properties of the compound produced by different formulations are not the same. These characteristics refer to mechanical and physical characteristics.


CPU is a new type of polymer synthetic material between rubber and plastics. In practical application, CPU is mostly used as a renewal product of rubber products. Because CPU has excellent wear resistance (the best elastomer), casting polyurethane elastomer (CPU) is also called thermosetting elastomer, which is liquid at room temperature and processed into liquid. Solid-state characteristics, so CPU is often used for pouring processing, such as casters, mining, oil refining, textiles, printing machine roller, its products in the wear resistance is strong.
