Lubrizol TPU 2363-80AE – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Lubrizol TPU 2363-80AE in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) formulations?

A: Lubrizol TPU 2363-80AE is a high-performance processing aid and melt-flow modifier specifically engineered for TPU compounds. It improves melt homogeneity, reduces extrusion torque, and enhances surface finish—particularly in demanding applications such as thin-wall injection molding and fine-gauge film extrusion.


Q2: Is Lubrizol TPU 2363-80AE compatible with all major TPU chemistries (e.g., polyester-, polyether-, and polycaprolactone-based TPUs)?

A: Yes, it demonstrates broad compatibility across common TPU base resins, including aromatic and aliphatic variants. Compatibility testing under actual processing conditions is recommended to optimize dispersion and performance for specific resin grades and end-use requirements.


Q3: How should Lubrizol TPU 2363-80AE be incorporated into a TPU compound?

A: It is typically introduced during compounding via twin-screw extrusion, either as a masterbatch or direct feed. Pre-drying is not required, but uniform feeding and adequate residence time are essential to ensure complete dispersion and avoid localized agglomeration.


Q4: Does Lubrizol TPU 2363-80AE affect the mechanical properties or clarity of finished TPU parts?

A: When used at typical dosage levels, it generally maintains key mechanical performance—including tensile strength, elongation, and tear resistance—while improving processability. In transparent TPU systems, it does not introduce haze or yellowing when properly dispersed and processed within recommended thermal limits.
