Medical Supplies Thermoplastic Polyurethanes Polyether TPU Corrosion Resistance

Polyether - Based TPU Medical Supplies Thermoplastic Polyurethanes Granules Raw Materials With Biocompatibility And Corrosion Resistance

Polyester-based TPU and polyether-based TPU differ significantly in their compositions, properties, and applications. Here's a concise description of their distinctions:

Composition:

• Polyester-based TPU primarily consists of raw materials such as 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), 1,4-butanediol (BDO), and adipic acid (AA). The MDI content is approximately 40%, AA accounts for about 35%, and BDO comprises around 25%.
• Polyether-based TPU, on the other hand, is primarily composed of MDI, polytetrahydrofuran (PTMEG), and BDO. The MDI content is roughly 40%, PTMEG constitutes about 40%, and BDO makes up approximately 20%.

Properties:

• Polyester-based TPU exhibits excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance, tear resistance, chemical resistance, high temperature resistance, and ease of processing. However, its hydrolysis resistance is relatively poor.
• Polyether-based TPU boasts superior low-temperature flexibility, hydrolysis resistance, mold resistance, UV resistance, and a good feel. However, its peel strength and tensile strength are relatively lower compared to polyester-based TPU.

Applications:

• Due to its robust mechanical properties and wear resistance, polyester-based TPU is widely used in applications such as oil pipes, seals, automotive parts, conveyor belts, footwheels, shoe materials, injection molding parts, and blended modified materials.
• Polyether-based TPU, with its excellent low-temperature flexibility and hydrolysis resistance, is ideal for use in thick-walled extruded profiles, protective clothing, waterproof jackets, flame-retardant materials, and other applications where resistance to hydrolysis and flexibility at low temperatures are crucial.

The adoption of polyether-based TPU for medical supplies offers a multitude of benefits tailored to the demanding requirements of the healthcare industry. Polyether TPU's exceptional flexibility and elasticity make it suitable for a variety of medical applications, such as tubing, catheters, and surgical instruments, where durability and comfort are crucial. Its resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including disinfectants and cleaning agents, ensures that medical devices remain functional and safe for patient use. Furthermore, polyether TPU is hypoallergenic and biocompatible, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects on patients. The material's smooth surface finish reduces friction and irritation, enhancing patient comfort during procedures. Additionally, polyether TPU's ease of processing allows for the cost-effective production of complex medical devices with precision. Overall, polyether TPU's unique properties make it an ideal choice for medical supplies, enhancing functionality, safety, and patient comfort.
