Benefits of technology

This patented technology produces color-stable polyurethane (TPU) foam particles with uniformly distributed colors without harming their eco friendliness properties or causing environmental concerns during production processes.

Problems solved by technology

Technological Problem: Current methods for producing thermally expandable polymer compositions like polytetrafluoroethylene or ethylenetolyimide have limitations in terms of their quality, consistency, reproducibility, applicability, durability, impact absorbance capacity, waterproofness, and weather resistant characteristics. These technical problem addressed by this patented innovative technologies include improving the production efficiency and productivity of these types of polymers without compromising on certain qualities associated therewith.

Abstract

The invention discloses coloring TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer) foamed beads as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The coloring TPU foamed beams comprise: (1) TPU foamedbeads; and (2) a color paste-containing water-based polyurethane solution, wherein the surfaces of the TPU foamed beads are spray-coated with the color paste-containing water-based polyurethane solution; the surfaces of the TPU foamed beads are subjected to cleaning degreasing and low-temperature plasma activating treatment through ultrasonic wave; and the water-based polyurethane solution comprises water-based polyurethane, water-based color paste, a water-based antioxidant, a light stabilizer for the water-based polyurethane, a crosslinking agent and deionized water. The coloring TPU foamedbeams are uniform in surface pigment, and are green and environmentally-friendly.
