Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of application of thermoplastic polyurethane, and more specifically, to low-temperature thermoplastic polyurethane elastic composite particles. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of materials science, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) has been widely used in many fields due to its unique physical and chemical properties. TPU is a block copolymer composed of alternating soft segments and hard segments, in which the soft segment provides elasticity and the hard segment contributes to strength and wear resistance. TPU has the dual properties of rubber and plastic, which means it can be molded by thermoplastic processing technology and has good elasticity and wear resistance.
[0003] In low temperature environments, traditional thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers may become hard and brittle, resulting in decreased performance. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of use in cold or freezing conditions, it is necessary to develop thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer composite particles with excellent low temperature performance.

[0006] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model, the core layer is a component made of polytetramethylene glycol.
[0007] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model, the cross-linking layer is a component made of diisocyanate material.
[0008] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model, the outer shell layer is a component made of a modified thermoplastic polyurethane material.
[0009] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model, the flame retardant layer is a component made of a phosphate-based organic flame retardant material.
[0010] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model, the anti-oxidation layer is a material component of a phosphite antioxidant.
[0011] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0012] The design of the core layer and the cross-linking layer in the utility model enables the particles to maintain excellent elasticity and resilience at low temperatures. Soft segment materials such as polytetramethylene glycol ensure the flexibility and durability of the particles under low temperature conditions. The cross-linking layer enhances the structural stability of the particles through chemical cross-linking points, provides excellent mechanical strength and wear resistance, and enables the particles to withstand greater pressure and friction. The outer shell layer effectively protects the internal layers from erosion by external environments such as moisture, oxygen, and ultraviolet rays, thereby extending the service life of the particles. The addition of the flame retardant layer significantly improves the flame retardant properties of the particles, making them safer in dangerous situations such as fire, which can reduce the risk of fire spread and reduce dripping produced by combustion, thereby avoiding secondary injuries such as burns. The antioxidant layer effectively prevents the performance degradation of the material due to oxidation, ensuring the stability of the performance of the particles during long-term use, that is, the five-layer composite particles designed in this scheme have achieved significant improvements in low-temperature performance, mechanical strength, environmental resistance, flame retardancy and oxidation resistance, and are suitable for use in various harsh environments.
