Raw Material for Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Adhesive Production:
According to the Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) Adhesive production cost report, the various raw materials for Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) Adhesive production include methylene diisocyanate (MDI), 1,4-butanediol (BDO), and polypropylene glycol (PPG) polyols.
Production Process of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Adhesive
The detailed Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) Adhesive production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- From methylene diisocyanate (MDI), 1,4-butanediol (BDO), and polypropylene glycol (PPG) polyols: The synthesis of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) Adhesive involves several steps. First, methylene diisocyanate is combined with 1,4-butanediol and two types of polypropylene glycol (PPG) polyols. The ratio of isocyanate to hydroxyl groups is adjusted to obtain the TPU adhesives with different hard segment contents.
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) adhesive has a two-phase morphology, hard segments and soft segments. It absorbs energy and returns to its original shape and thus can be used as pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs). Its adhesive strength varies with the composition of the hard and soft segments. It is resistant to chemicals, oils, and solvents. It has good thermal stability and can face a range of temperatures. Its chemical structure can be modified to achieve desired levels of hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity. Its modification in properties makes it an effective adhesive solution across diverse industrial applications.
