Merquinsa 17076/12 TPU Elastomer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application domain for Merquinsa 17076/12?

A: Merquinsa 17076/12 is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomer engineered for demanding flexible packaging applications—particularly in multilayer coextruded films where high clarity, excellent melt processability, and strong interlayer adhesion are required.


Q2: Is this TPU suitable for food-contact applications?

A: Yes, Merquinsa 17076/12 is formulated to meet general food-contact compliance requirements for plastics under relevant global regulatory frameworks; final suitability depends on the complete finished article composition and intended use conditions.


Q3: How does Merquinsa 17076/12 differ from standard TPU grades used in extrusion?

A: Unlike conventional TPUs, 17076/12 offers enhanced low-melt-viscosity behavior and improved thermal stability during prolonged melt processing—making it especially well-suited for high-output film coextrusion lines and thin-gauge barrier layers.


Q4: Can it be blended with other polymers such as EVOH or PE?

A: Yes, Merquinsa 17076/12 demonstrates good compatibility with common packaging resins including polyethylene (PE), ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH), and ionomers—typically used at low concentrations as a tie-layer modifier to improve adhesion and reduce delamination risk.
