Q1: What are the key processing advantages of Taiwan Risheng 1513-7 compared to conventional TPU grades?
A: Taiwan Risheng 1513-7 offers enhanced melt flow stability and reduced torque demand during extrusion and injection molding, enabling smoother processing at lower barrel temperatures and shorter cycle times—particularly beneficial for thin-wall or complex geometry parts.
Q2: Is 1513-7 suitable for applications requiring long-term hydrolytic stability?
A: Yes—1513-7 is formulated with hydrolysis-resistant polyester-based chemistry and demonstrates significantly improved resistance to moisture-induced degradation compared to standard polyester TPUs, making it well-suited for humid environments or prolonged outdoor exposure.
Q3: Can 1513-7 be used in overmolding applications onto common engineering plastics?
A: Yes—1513-7 exhibits good interfacial adhesion to substrates such as ABS, PC, and polypropylene when processed under optimized temperature and mold surface conditions; adhesion performance is further enhanced with proper drying and surface pretreatment.
Q4: How does the hardness and elasticity profile of 1513-7 support its use in flexible film and sheet applications?
A: With a Shore A hardness in the mid-90s range and balanced tensile strength-to-elongation ratio, 1513-7 delivers excellent calendering behavior, dimensional stability during cooling, and consistent thickness control—ideal for high-clarity, tear-resistant films used in protective coverings and technical laminates.
