Q1: What is the primary processing method for BASF 1185A 10M?
A: BASF 1185A 10M is a melt-processable thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer designed for extrusion and injection molding. It exhibits good melt stability and flow characteristics under standard TPU processing conditions.
Q2: How does BASF 1185A 10M differ from other TPU grades in terms of hardness and elasticity?
A: BASF 1185A 10M is formulated to deliver medium Shore A hardness with balanced tensile strength and elongation at break, making it particularly suitable for flexible yet durable components requiring consistent elastic recovery and resistance to permanent deformation.
Q3: Is BASF 1185A 10M suitable for applications requiring hydrolysis resistance?
A: Yes — as an aliphatic polyester-based TPU, BASF 1185A 10M offers improved resistance to hydrolytic degradation compared to many aromatic or polyether TPUs, especially under warm, humid conditions and prolonged exposure.
Q4: Can BASF 1185A 10M be overmolded onto common engineering thermoplastics?
A: It demonstrates good adhesion to several substrates including polypropylene, ABS, and polycarbonate when processed under optimized temperature and surface preparation conditions; compatibility testing is recommended for critical bonding applications.
