Soft modified TPU particles, the secret of making the film soft and elastic skin-friendly.
describe:
TPU film is easy to be sticky after aging, not soft and elastic enough, and the color is not full enough?
Thermoplastic polyurethane (tpu) is known for its versatility and excellent performance, and its derivatives, TPU films, play a pivotal role in many industries such as footwear, apparel, medical supplies, and indoor soft package. With increasing global environmental awareness, more new application scenarios and changing needs, practitioners in the field of TPU film manufacturing have increased their material requirements to meet the changing needs of these industries.

Detail
Typically, TPU manufacturers can make TPU softer to meet the unique requirements of specific application scenarios by increasing the percentage of soft segments of TPU or by increasing the percentage of plasticizers. However, this can lead to a decrease in the mechanical properties of the TPU and the risk of debonding. With the continuous expansion of the TPU film field, excellent soft touch, no oil sticky, easy to process and so on has become a key factor to improve the user experience and product quality, just rely on the above methods can no longer meet the requirements, looking for a better performance of the new material to upgrade the TPU has been imperative.

Application
Whether you are in the film industry or working on surfaces and creative work on any project that requires human contact with a high degree of skin-friendly soft-touch feel, Si-TPV soft TPU particles are a simple and cost-effective way to do it. Si-TPV soft TPU particles are widely used in a variety of products: clothing, shoes, hats, leather, gloves, indoor soft packaging, baby products and so on.
Si-TPV Soft modified TPU particles drive innovation and help your film products achieve the desired softness, color saturation, durability, matte finish and non-segregation effects, bringing a brighter, more resilient future to the TPU film industry!
Why can Si-TPV soft modified TPU particles replace TPU in the field of film applications?
1. More flexible and durable
TPU film usually choose the hardness of the particles in the Shore 80A, thus limiting its soft elasticity in the requirements of the high school applications, while Si-TPV soft modified TPU particles hardness for the field of film can reach Shore 60A, with good resilience and abrasion resistance, compared to the same hardness of the TPU film is more soft, elastic and durable, and will not be analyzed out of the risk of sticking. Therefore, it is an ideal material to replace TPU in applications requiring lower film hardness, such as apparel wear, leather, and automobile door panels.
2. Unique and long-lasting skin-friendly feel
Compared with many TPUs, Si-TPV soft modified TPU particles can give film products a unique and long-lasting skin-friendly touch. It utilizes a casting process that does not require additional processing or coating steps to achieve a unique, long-lasting soft touch. This allows it to excel in film applications where human contact is required and where a higher level of tactility is desired, such as engraved films, swimming gear, footwear, and sports shooting gloves. In such cases, TPU may not provide the same unique and long-lasting skin-friendly feel.
3. Matte Finish
In some specific application scenarios, the advanced visual effect of matte finish is often pursued. TPU films are commonly processed by using treating agents or rollers to achieve this effect, which not only increases the processing procedures but also increases the cost. Si-TPV soft modified TPU particles, without treatment to obtain the original high-grade matte matte effect, which makes it a reliable choice for high-grade clothing packaging, automotive interior soft packaging, interior soft packaging and other film applications, and will not be lost with the time, the environment and other factors.

4. Safe and environmentally friendly, healthy and non-toxic Whether in the field of human contact or for healthcare applications and for the environment, it is important to be safe and non-toxic. With solvent-free technology, no plasticizers or softening oils, and no DMF, Si-TPV soft modified TPU particles are 100% non-toxic, odorless, low-carbon and recyclable, which is kinder to the human body and the environment, promotes recycling in a green economy, and is ideal for manufacturers aiming to reduce their carbon footprint. 5. Higher freedom of color design Si-TPV soft modified TPU particles in the film field not only provide advantages in terms of tactility and practicality, but also give the film a higher degree of color selection, making the final product more colorful and vibrant, giving designers unlimited design freedom and opening the door to sustainable alternatives to TPU in the film field.

While TPUs have been used in a wide variety of applications due to their versatility, the emergence of Si-TPV soft-modified TPU particles offers a new way of thinking for the film industry and beyond. Especially where soft elasticity, durability, long-lasting skin feel and matte finish are required, the unique combination of properties of Si-TPV soft-modified TPU particles makes it a strong contender to replace TPU in a wide range of industries, from automotive and apparel to healthcare and interior flexible packaging applications. The role of Si-TPV soft-modified TPU particles in replacing TPU will only continue to expand as Stryker continues to advance its research and development in materials science, providing manufacturers with more options to optimize their products to meet specific needs.
