Lubrizol 5799 TPU Elastomer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Lubrizol 5799 in TPU formulations?

A: Lubrizol 5799 is a high-performance processing aid and surface modifier designed to enhance melt flow, reduce extrusion pressure, and improve surface gloss and release characteristics in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) compounds.


Q2: Is Lubrizol 5799 compatible with all major TPU chemistries (e.g., polyester- and polyether-based TPUs)?

A: Yes, Lubrizol 5799 demonstrates broad compatibility across common TPU base resins, including both polyester- and polyether-type systems, and has been successfully incorporated into aromatic and aliphatic TPU grades.


Q3: How is Lubrizol 5799 typically incorporated into TPU production?

A: It is commonly added during compounding—either via side-feeding or masterbatch dilution—and is fully dispersible under standard TPU extrusion conditions without requiring pre-drying or special handling beyond standard TPU processing guidelines.


Q4: Does Lubrizol 5799 affect the mechanical properties of the final TPU product?

A: When used within recommended dosage ranges, Lubrizol 5799 maintains key mechanical performance attributes—including tensile strength, elongation, and abrasion resistance—while delivering consistent processing benefits.
