Application of thermoplastic polyester elastomer TPEE in outdoor sports products
Thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE) is a type of linear block copolymer containing PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) polyester hard segment and polyether soft segment. TPEE has the elasticity of rubber, the strength of plastic and the ease of processing of thermoplastics. It is a new variety of thermoplastic elastomers that has attracted much attention.
TPEE (thermoplastic polyester elastomer) has good oil resistance, low temperature flexibility, bending resistance, heat resistance, and also has good extrusion processability, and can be extruded at a higher speed than other products. Processing, TPEE (thermoplastic polyester elastomer) has high resilience, repeated fatigue resistance, low temperature flexibility, heat resistance, bending resistance, making TPEE the material of choice for outdoor sports, and has good processing properties, and other Compared with the product, it can be processed at a higher speed, and at the same time, the size is easy to control, and a higher production capacity can be obtained.
1. Snowboard covers, ski boot fasteners
Advantage: low temperature performance
The ability to maintain the same high level of performance at extremely low temperatures is important for this application. TPEE thermoplastic polyester elastomer, can maintain good mechanical properties, even at extremely low temperatures still have impact resistance. The belt is made of TPEE because of its strong hardness and tensile strength. This feature ensures the strength of the lock, while being comfortable to wear.
2. Outdoor sports glasses
1. Rapid crystallization and easy molding
2. Cold resistance, excellent low temperature flexibility
3. Excellent resilience performance
4. Comfortable and soft touch
5. Excellent repetitive fatigue resistance
6. Excellent chemical stability
7. Excellent hydrolysis resistance
8. Excellent washback elasticity
9. Excellent wear resistance
10. Good aging resistance
3. Sports bottle
Sports water bottles have become a relatively popular and environmentally friendly emerging sporting goods. With the rise, development and continuous growth of domestic outdoor sports, the sales volume of sports water bottles in China is expanding year by year.
TPEE can still maintain its good flexibility and impact resistance in a very low temperature environment, and its repeated fatigue performance is very good, so it is often used in the connection part of the bottle cap and bottle body of sports water bottles. Its comfortable and flexible touch is also often used in the hand-held part of the overmolded bottle, and it has excellent adhesion with materials such as ABS, PBT and PC.
