SHANGHAI, Apr 2, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - The Lubrizol Corporation announces that it will participate in Chinaplas 2014, from April 23 - 26 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, Booth #N2F41. Lubrizol Engineered Polymers will be showcasing its integrated aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) range of solutions featuring the latest developments and improvements in Merquinsa legacy aliphatic TPUs for molding.
Building on the improved UV and staining resistance shown by PearlthaneTM 91T85 (88 Shore A hardness) in molded parts like watch belts and weatherable electronic devices, Lubrizol has expanded its aliphatic TPU offering commercialized under Estane(R) Engineered Polymers. The aliphatic portfolio now includes new and improved molding grades for the industrial, automotive, sports and recreation, and electronics markets.
Driven by the increasing demand for light colors and/or optical clarity in several technical and fashion-end applications, the latest developments from Estane Engineered Polymers have resulted in an improved formula for Pearlthane D91T80. This aliphatic TPU grade (82 Shore A hardness), offers excellent color stability upon UV exposure and also features excellent elasticity properties. Additionally, Pearlthane D91T86 has been recently introduced, with a 90 Shore A hardness, to obtain a faster processing and better cycling time, while retaining excellent surface finish and appealing aesthetics, making it highly suitable for automotive interior parts, like gear knobs and shutter pads.
Junkers Wang, regional industrial market segment manager, Estane Engineered Polymers, notes "Our aliphatic TPU innovations have received an amazing response from our customers. As an added value, apart from obtaining good haptics and a nice looking part, the new aliphatic TPU grades also show an improvement in mechanical properties."
Additionally, Lubrizol will be highlighting other unique engineered polymer technologies at Chinaplas 2014.
