Bio-based TPU film
Bio-based TPU film is a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer film with renewable bio-based raw materials (such as corn stalks, rice bran wax, etc.) as the main components. It has the characteristics of being environmentally friendly, having high strength and high toughness.
Our Story
TPU film and bio-based TPU film
TPU is the abbreviation for thermoplastic polyurethane, a material with good elasticity, abrasion resistance, and oil resistance. It is commonly used in the manufacture of shoe materials, electronic product protective cases, and clothing films. Traditional TPU is mostly made from petroleum, but bio-based TPU films are different; their raw materials come from renewable biomass resources, such as corn and sugarcane. This shift not only reduces the consumption of petroleum resources but also provides a new path for material sustainability.
Properties of bio-based TPU films
Physical properties
It has good elasticity, tear resistance and transparency, and is suitable for a variety of applications.
Environmental characteristics
Biodegradability. It should be noted that the degree of biodegradability of bio-based TPU films depends on specific environmental conditions, but under appropriate conditions, it can partially degrade, reducing environmental residues.
Bio-based TPU film applications
Bio-based TPU films are already being used in several fields, such as packaging materials, apparel fabrics, and footwear manufacturing. In packaging, they can be used to produce environmentally friendly flexible packaging films; in the apparel industry, they are used to create waterproof and breathable functional fabrics; and in footwear, they are used to manufacture midsole insoles and uppers. These applications not only leverage the material’s performance advantages but also demonstrate the value of green materials.
Our Story
Environmental impact of bio-based TPU films
The production and use of bio-based TPU films have a relatively small environmental impact. Because the raw materials are derived from renewable resources, its carbon emissions are low over its life cycle. The biodegradable nature of some bio-based TPU films helps reduce plastic pollution. However, it’s important to note that bio-based materials are not a high-quality solution; their environmental benefits depend on the sustainability of the entire production chain, including agricultural production, energy consumption, and waste disposal.
Currently, bio-based TPU films are still in their early stages of development, with relatively small-scale production and high costs. The cost of producing one ton of bio-based TPU film can be significantly higher than that of petroleum-based films, limiting its large-scale application. The stability of raw material supply, technological maturity, and market acceptance are also challenges that need to be addressed. The industry is working to address these issues through research and development and technological improvements, hoping to achieve wider application in the future.
With increasing environmental awareness and technological advancements, bio-based TPU films are expected to play a role in more fields. For example, in industries such as automotive interiors and home furnishings, it may become an option to replace traditional materials. The promotion of circular economy models may also promote the development of bio-based TPU films, including innovations in recycling and degradation treatment.
