BASF 365X TPU Elastomer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of BASF 365X in TPU formulations?

A: BASF 365X is a high-performance processing aid designed to improve melt flow, reduce extrusion torque, and enhance surface finish in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) compounds—particularly during extrusion and injection molding processes.


Q2: Is BASF 365X compatible with all major TPU chemistries (e.g., polyester-, polyether-, and polycaprolactone-based TPUs)?

A: Yes, BASF 365X demonstrates broad compatibility across common TPU base resins. It is especially effective in demanding applications involving high-molecular-weight or highly viscous grades where melt homogeneity and die swell control are critical.


Q3: How is BASF 365X typically incorporated into TPU production?

A: It is commonly added directly to the TPU resin via gravimetric or volumetric feeders prior to extrusion, or pre-blended as a masterbatch. Due to its low volatility and thermal stability, it remains effective under standard TPU processing temperatures without significant degradation or volatilization.


Q4: Does BASF 365X affect the mechanical properties or long-term performance of finished TPU parts?

A: When used within recommended dosage ranges, BASF 365X does not adversely impact tensile strength, elongation at break, or Shore hardness. It is formulated to remain molecularly dispersed and does not interfere with phase separation or physical crosslinking mechanisms inherent to TPU microstructure.
