Abstract

The invention discloses a foaming thermoplastic polyurethane bead. The foaming bead comprises 100 parts of thermoplastic polyurethane particles, 1-10 parts of cell size stabilizer, and 1-35 parts of melt viscosity modifier. The bead is prepared through the following steps: steeping the thermoplastic polyurethane particles containing a cell size stabilizer and a melt viscosity modifier in an aqueous suspension and foaming by volatilizing foaming agent. The melt viscosity of the foaming thermoplastic polyurethane bead is 8000-15000 poise below 180 DEG C, the size of the prepared foaming thermoplastic polyurethane bead is stable, the diameter of the cell is uniform, the surface is bright, the yield of the product is high, the foaming thermoplastic polyurethane bead has good sintering property even under lower vapor pressure, and the molding foam product deforms slightly and has low shrinking percentage compared with the size of the die, good dimensional stability and attractive appearance.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of foaming materials, in particular to a foamed thermoplastic polyurethane bead and a preparation method thereof. The molded foamed product made of the foamed bead can be used for cushioning packaging materials, thermal insulation materials , bedding (such as pillows, mattresses), leisure places (such as floor coatings), shock-absorbing and energy-absorbing materials (such as car bumper core materials). Background technique: [0002] Using plastic as a matrix, a large number of air bubbles are filled inside the plastic by physical or chemical methods to obtain a polymer foam material. Foam materials have a series of advantages such as low density, heat and sound insulation, high specific strength, and cushioning, so they are widely used in the fields of packaging, industry, agriculture, transportation, military industry, aerospace industry, and daily necessities. Commonly used types of foam are polyurethan...
