Basf's Low Carbon TPU Enable Diverse Applications In Wearables, Automotive and Food

October 22, 2024
BASF cooperated with Li Ning, a leading professional sports brand in China, to develop a full thermoplastic polyurethane concept shoe (full TPU shoe), which is made entirely of BASF Elastollan® TPU material and can be 100% recycled. Together with Hamee, BASF has developed a bio-based TPU that can be used in the manufacture of mobile phone cases. With a renewable raw material ratio of 53%, the TPU has excellent UV and yellow resistance while maintaining the wear resistance and high transparency of the phone case.
 
Automotive is an important end area for BASF TPU applications. Basf Greater China thermoplastic polyurethane business management director Zhuang Wei said in an interview with the media group that from the perspective of visual experience, BASF's TPU products can make light guide strips or light guide films for atmosphere lamps, which also shows that the TPU has good optical performance from the side. In addition, TPU can also be used to make protective film and color changing film for automotive paint.
 
 
 
"Because TPU has a better brightening sense and can bring better visual touch to users, from the future trend, TPU will gradually replace traditional PVC materials." "Zhuang Wei added. He said that although there is no specific figure for the proportion of TPU in the vehicle material at present, whether it is a brake line, a transmission line, a car casing or even a spiral car charging line, TPU can be made. TPU can also be used to make car seats, such as the leather of the door panel inside the seat, the handle or the related soft glue.
