Merrell TPUH106 TPU Elastomer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary polymer architecture and key performance advantage of TPUH106?

A: TPUH106 is a polyester-based thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer offering an optimized balance of melt processability, tensile resilience, and abrasion resistance—particularly suited for extrusion and injection molding of flexible, durable components.


Q2: Is TPUH106 compatible with common engineering thermoplastics for alloying or co-extrusion?

A: Yes—TPUH106 demonstrates good compatibility with polyesters (e.g., PET, PBT) and certain polyolefins when used with appropriate compatibilizers; it is frequently employed in soft-touch overmolding and multi-layer film structures where interfacial adhesion and thermal stability are critical.


Q3: What drying conditions are recommended prior to processing?

A: To ensure optimal melt quality and mechanical properties, drying at 80–90 °C for 3–4 hours under dehumidified air is generally recommended—moisture content should be maintained below 0.05% before processing.


Q4: How does TPUH106 perform under repeated flexing or dynamic mechanical stress?

A: Thanks to its high elasticity recovery and low permanent set, TPUH106 maintains structural integrity and surface finish across extended cyclic loading—making it well-suited for applications such as bellows, gaskets, and wearable device housings subject to frequent deformation.


Q5: Can TPUH106 be processed on standard thermoplastic equipment without modification?

A: Yes—TPUH106 processes reliably on conventional single-screw extruders and injection molding machines equipped with general-purpose screws and standard temperature profiles; no specialized tooling or hardware is required for typical production setups.
