Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of TPU foam beads and products thereof. The preparation method comprises steps: (1) respectively metering the TPU particles and water into the reaction kettle continuously, and stirring to form a uniform suspension; (2) separately metering the above suspension and foaming agent, respectively The mixture is transported to the mixing place by a pump; (3) the above-mentioned mixture is transported to a heat exchanger, and the temperature is raised to the foaming temperature; (4) the mixture reaching the foaming temperature is transported to a multi-stage immersion vessel through a pipeline, and foamed The agent is gradually impregnated into the inside of the TPU particles, and finally reaches the dissolution equilibrium; (5) the TPU particles with the foaming agent dissolution balance are continuously discharged into the receiving tank through the orifice plate at the end of the pipeline connected to the outlet of the multi-stage impregnation container for foaming, and the foaming agent is obtained. TPU foam beads. The density of the TPU foamed beads is 0.1~0.3g / cm 3 , the difference between the largest size and the smallest size of the cell is not more than 20 μm.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer foaming materials, in particular to a preparation method of TPU foaming beads and a product thereof. Background technique [0002] Polymer foam materials are usually based on plastic, rubber or thermoplastic elastomer, and a large number of bubbles are formed inside the matrix material by physical or chemical methods.
