Lubrizol TPU D12T90 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Lubrizol TPU D12T90 in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) formulations?

A: Lubrizol TPU D12T90 is a high-performance processing aid and melt-flow modifier designed to enhance extrusion efficiency, reduce melt viscosity, and improve surface finish in TPU compounds—without compromising mechanical properties or thermal stability.


Q2: Is Lubrizol TPU D12T90 compatible with common TPU base resins, including polyester- and polyether-based grades?

A: Yes, it demonstrates broad compatibility across major TPU chemistries, including aromatic and aliphatic polyester- and polyether-based systems. It disperses readily during standard compounding processes such as twin-screw extrusion.


Q3: How does Lubrizol TPU D12T90 affect the final product’s clarity and color stability?

A: It is formulated to support excellent optical clarity and minimal yellowing tendency in transparent or light-colored TPU applications, particularly when processed under controlled temperature conditions typical for sensitive TPU grades.


Q4: Can Lubrizol TPU D12T90 be used in applications requiring regulatory compliance for indirect food contact or medical devices?

A: While Lubrizol TPU D12T90 is not pre-certified for regulated end uses, its composition is based on non-volatile, high-molecular-weight components commonly assessed for functional additive safety. Formulators must conduct full regulatory evaluation—including migration testing and toxicological review—as part of their final product qualification process.
