Prepare the required raw materials in advance and weigh the required weights of polyurethane, stabilizer, organic solvent, lubricant, plasticizer, defoamer, and pigment mixture; S2. The raw material extraction parts taken symmetrically are mixed. Polyurethane, a part of organic solvents and a plasticizer are sequentially added into the first preparation tank, and a primary stirring treatment is carried out synchronously. While stirring, a primary temperature rise is carried out. A stabilizer, the remaining organic solvents, a plasticizer, a lubricant and a pigment mixture are added into the second preparation tank, and a secondary stirring treatment is carried out synchronously. While stirring, a secondary temperature rise is carried out. The solutions inside the second preparation tank and the first preparation tank are mixed, and a tertiary stirring treatment is carried out synchronously. While stirring, a tertiary temperature rise is carried out. An antifoaming agent is added to obtain the raw material of the finished TPU film. S3. The obtained raw material of the finished TPU film is calendared by a calender to obtain a TPU material layer.
4. Use of the TPU film with an optical texture effect according to claim 3 in the production of injection molded parts, characterized in that: The stabilizer is one or a mixture of more of cysteine - type and butyl hydroxybenzaldehyde, and the lubricant is one or a mixture of more of polytetrafluoroethylene, lubricating grease and graphite powder.
5. The application of the TPU film with an optical texture effect according to claim 3 in the production of injection-molded parts, characterized in that: The plasticizer is one or a mixture of more of dibutyl phthalate and dioctyl phthalate, and the pigment mixture is one or a mixture of more of rapeseed yellow, alizarin red, phthalocyanine blue and o - diaminobenzoate.
6. The application of the TPU film with an optical texture effect according to claim 3 in the production of injection molded parts, characterized in that: The primary stirring in step S2 needs to be stirred and mixed at a rotation speed of 600 - 800 r / min for 10 - 30 min, and the primary temperature rise is 100 - 175 °C; the secondary stirring in step S2 needs to be stirred and mixed at a rotation speed of 500 - 900 r / min for 10 - 20 min, and the secondary temperature rise is 120 - 220 °C; the tertiary stirring in step S2 needs to be stirred and mixed at a rotation speed of 900 - 1500 r / min for 30 - 60 min, and the tertiary temperature rise is 150 - 300 °C.
