Development Of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Resin By Steam Refining

Switzerland, Basel, Switzerland, based on Ciba, developed a new light stabilizer CIBATINUVIPUR866, which is developed for providing better weather resistance and good long-term color retention for the movement and leisure applications of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) resin.

Unlike many other light stabilizers that affect the initial coloring of the material, TINUVINPUR866 will not affect its initial coloring even after polyurethane is processed by composite and injection molding.

Therefore, it is suitable for use in pparent and light colored polyurethane.

In addition, pparent and light colored polyurethane resins are particularly prone to discoloration when exposed to sunlight.

By reducing the color change, TINUVINPUR866 allows polyurethane products to maintain their visual appeal, thereby protecting the quality of products.

The finished polyurethane material can be rigid or elastic, high elastic, and has good damping properties and thermal stability and wear resistance to varying degrees.

The typical uses of Pu include sports and leisure applications, such as pparent TPU film, sneakers, logo and badges and pparent air cushion for high-performance sports shoes, ski shoes and outdoor clothing.
