Pyrrolidone polyamide tpu blends: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Standard thermoplastic polyurethanes suffer from high flammability and poor thermal stability, which limits their use in high-safety industrial applications. This lever utilizes specific polypropane diol chain architectures to integrate flame retardancy directly into the polymer backbone.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Pyrrolidone polyamide tpu blends?

Interfacial adhesion failure

(25)evidences

Thermoplastic polyurethanes are highly susceptible to permanent aesthetic degradation from external contaminants. Reducing permeability to dyes and pigments preserves material appearance in consumer applications.

High polymer flammability

(8)evidences

Standard thermoplastic polyurethane exhibits rapid combustion and dripping during fire exposure. Reducing ignition susceptibility and heat release rates is critical for safety compliance in structural and textile applications.
