BASF C60 A 15HPM TPU Elastomer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of BASF C60 A 15HPM in TPU formulations?

A: BASF C60 A 15HPM is a high-performance processing aid specifically designed to improve melt flow, reduce extrusion pressure, and enhance surface finish in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) compounds—particularly during calendering, film blowing, and profile extrusion.


Q2: Is BASF C60 A 15HPM compatible with all TPU base resins?

A: It demonstrates broad compatibility with aromatic and aliphatic TPU grades across major molecular weight ranges; however, optimal performance should be confirmed via small-scale trials due to formulation-specific interactions with additives, fillers, or pigments.


Q3: How does BASF C60 A 15HPM affect the mechanical properties of finished TPU parts?

A: When used at recommended dosage levels, it typically maintains key mechanical properties—including tensile strength, elongation at break, and abrasion resistance—while significantly improving processability. Substantial over-dosing may impact hardness or low-temperature flexibility.


Q4: Can BASF C60 A 15HPM be used in applications requiring regulatory compliance for food contact or medical devices?

A: It is not inherently certified for food-contact or medical applications; end-use compliance depends on full formulation evaluation and regulatory submission by the compounder or converter, as BASF C60 A 15HPM is intended as a processing additive rather than a final-article component.
