BASF KONZ 202/F TPU Elastomer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of KONZ 202/F in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) formulations?

A: KONZ 202/F is a specialized processing aid and surface modifier designed to improve melt flow, reduce extrusion die buildup, and enhance surface gloss and slip characteristics in TPU compounds—without compromising mechanical integrity or thermal stability.


Q2: Is KONZ 202/F compatible with aromatic and aliphatic TPU base resins?

A: Yes, KONZ 202/F demonstrates broad compatibility across both aromatic and aliphatic TPU systems, including polyester- and polyether-based grades. Its non-reactive, physical blending behavior supports uniform dispersion during standard melt processing.


Q3: How does KONZ 202/F affect the final product’s surface properties and post-processing behavior?

A: It imparts improved surface lubricity and reduced coefficient of friction, facilitating easier part ejection, smoother secondary operations (e.g., printing, metallization), and enhanced resistance to abrasion-induced haze formation during handling or conversion.


Q4: Can KONZ 202/F be used in applications requiring regulatory compliance for indirect food contact?

A: While KONZ 202/F is not pre-approved under specific food-contact legislation, its composition is based on inert, high-molecular-weight components commonly accepted in functional additive categories for polymer processing. Regulatory suitability must be confirmed case-by-case through full formulation assessment and applicable jurisdictional review.
