Q1: What is the primary application domain for BASF C60 A 10WN TPU Elastomer?
A: This thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer is primarily engineered for demanding extrusion and injection molding applications requiring excellent melt stability, good processability, and balanced mechanical performance—especially in technical components for automotive, industrial hoses, and flexible profiles.
Q2: How does C60 A 10WN differ from standard aromatic TPU grades in terms of thermal behavior?
A: As a low-melt-viscosity grade with modified chain architecture, C60 A 10WN offers enhanced thermal stability during high-shear processing and reduced tendency toward yellowing compared to conventional aromatic TPUs—making it suitable for extended residence times in extruders and hot-runner systems.
Q3: Is this grade compatible with common polymer blending partners such as PVC or polyolefins?
A: C60 A 10WN demonstrates good compatibility with polar polymers like PVC and certain functionalized polyolefins when used as a compatibilizer or impact modifier; however, blend formulation requires careful evaluation of interfacial adhesion and thermal history to ensure phase stability.
Q4: What are the recommended drying conditions prior to processing?
A: To prevent hydrolysis and maintain optimal melt properties, drying at 70–80 °C for 2–4 hours under dehumidified air is generally recommended—exact time depends on material bulk depth and ambient humidity levels.
