About Expanded TPU

Isothane ETPU have light density and high elasticity even at -25".

It even withstands prolonged and repeated compression without permanent deformation.

ETPU offers a perfect combination of soft texture and great elasticity.

Eight features:

Super Response: Rebound rate > 65%
.Low density: Density : 100-200 kg/m3
Good performance at low temperature: high elasticity and softness even at -25
Anti-yellowing: Anti-yellowing material, also have non-yellowing grade
Good abrasion resistance: Very low abrasion.
High flexing endurance: Finished goods can bear up to 120,000 bends
.Low compression set: Compressed reply >90%
Eco-friendly material: All raw materials and processes are environmentally friendly.

Exceptional Performance for Demanding Applications

Expanded TPU stands out due to its high elongation at break, excellent abrasion resistance, and remarkable shock absorption. Its closed-cell structure guarantees both thermal and acoustic insulation, making it ideal for demanding applications such as footwear cushioning, automotive parts, and sporting goods. With customizable thickness and a smooth matte finish, it adapts seamlessly to varied OEM requirements.

Eco-Friendly and Durable Engineering

This material not only delivers impressive mechanical properties but also supports environmental sustainability with its recyclability and RoHS & REACH compliance. Its water resistance, low compression set, and heat stability up to 80C ensure consistent performance and extended shelf life, making it a cost-effective solution for manufacturers and suppliers globally.

FAQs of Expanded TPU:

Q: How can Expanded TPU be used in footwear and sporting goods?

A: Expanded TPUs high shock absorption and excellent cushioning properties make it an ideal choice for midsoles, insoles, and a variety of sporting goods. Its flexibility and abrasion resistance improve comfort, safety, and product lifespan.

Q: What benefits does the closed-cell microstructure provide?

A: The closed-cell microstructure significantly enhances both thermal and acoustic insulation. This structure also minimizes water absorption and adds to the overall durability, making it suitable for packaging, automotive, and lifestyle products.

Q: When is it best to use Expanded TPU compared to other cushioning materials?

A: Expanded TPU should be chosen when flexibility, lightweight, durability, and superior shock absorption are necessary, especially in applications exposed to continuous stress or requiring good insulation and minimal water uptake.

Q: Where is this material sourced and distributed?

A: Manufactured, supplied, and distributed from Taiwan, Expanded TPU is available worldwide in various forms such as granules, beads, or sheets, catering to OEMs, exporters, and distributors across industries.

Q: What is the recommended process for customizing thickness and surface finish?

A: Customization of Expanded TPU is achievable during manufacturing, where thickness and surface finish preferences (smooth or matte) are tailored to meet specific OEM or application requirements. Consultation with the supplier ensures feasibility and specification alignment.

Q: How does Expanded TPU contribute to sustainability efforts?

A: Expanded TPU is recyclable and complies with both RoHS and REACH standards, supporting environmentally responsible product development and reducing material waste in industrial applications.
