PU Masterbatches - Plastic products made from PU elastic background

by Tran Hoa Marketing

Masterbatches are products that made from 1 in 4 types of universal plastic including thermoplastic, thermosetting polymer, hard plastic and elastic plastic. In this article, EuP will introduce PU elastic plastic. This is one of the most important ingredient of masterbatches that resemblance to rubber because their elasticity is quite similar.

Masterbatches made from the main PU plastics ingredient

PU plastic (usually called Polyurethane) is the substrate plastic that makes the final masterbatches. It is made from PU synthetic plastic with the high durability, withstand good impact from the outside and have the same features as the usual artificial rubber. Therefore, it will bring a lasting stretch and excellent hardness. Thanks to the available Urethane calculator, PU can replace the conventional rubber type to reduce the cost of production.

PU Masterbatches embrace the properties of artificial rubber

In the terms of elasticity and durability, the PU plastic is much better than artificial rubber. It also has oil resistance, tear resistance, scratches, and the external abrasion resistance. For this type, masterbatches are made from an ordinary elastic plastic which can not compare with plastic because of its absolute stretch resistance and impact resistance. Due to all these advantages, they often make masterbatches from PU plastic to serve in many different fields.

The applications of PU Masterbatches in making plastic product

Because of the remarkable features of PU plastic are mentioned above, masterbatches are applied in the various industries like:

In printing, weaving, paper,... People prefer to use PU plastics most because of its chemical resistance and good solvent. It is used to wrap the machines to protect from harmful chemicals.
As stated above, PU has highly resistant chemical so in the oil and gas industry, it is common to clean up piping, pipe lining,...
In the mining industry, PU is used as floor or floor pads, conveyors, shafts and wheels,...

With the features and prevalence of PU masterbatches, it will be maintaining the yield and longevity of the machine. And it is seen as the potential material that can gradually replace the type of rubber on the market today.
