BASF B90A 11S TPU Elastomer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key processing advantages of BASF B90A 11S compared to conventional TPU grades?

A: BASF B90A 11S is specifically engineered for enhanced melt stability and reduced viscosity at processing temperatures, enabling smoother extrusion and injection molding—particularly beneficial for thin-walled or highly detailed parts. Its optimized flow behavior supports faster cycle times and improved surface finish without requiring major equipment modifications.


Q2: Is B90A 11S suitable for applications requiring high abrasion resistance and flexibility at low temperatures?

A: Yes—B90A 11S delivers a balanced combination of excellent abrasion resistance, high elasticity, and retained flexibility down to sub-zero temperatures. This makes it well-suited for dynamic components such as automotive interior trims, protective casings, and industrial rollers where mechanical resilience under variable thermal conditions is critical.


Q3: Can B90A 11S be co-extruded or overmolded with other thermoplastics?

A: B90A 11S demonstrates good adhesion to common engineering thermoplastics—including polypropylene, ABS, and certain PC/ABS blends—when processed under controlled temperature and surface preparation conditions. Successful co-processing typically requires optimization of interfacial temperature, residence time, and mold design to ensure robust bonding without delamination.


Q4: How does B90A 11S perform in terms of hydrolytic stability compared to polyester-based TPUs?

A: As a polyether-based TPU, B90A 11S offers significantly improved resistance to hydrolysis relative to standard polyester TPUs—especially under warm, humid conditions or prolonged exposure to moisture. This enhances long-term dimensional stability and mechanical retention in demanding environments such as outdoor consumer goods or medical device housings.
