Lubrizol's New Aliphatic TPU to be Presented at the Smithers Rapra TPE 2013 Conference
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
BARCELONA, Spain, September 16 - The Lubrizol Corporation announces that it will
participate in the TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) 2013 conference organized by
Smithers Rapra in Düsseldorf, Germany on October 17,2013.
Under its Estane(®) Engineered Polymers platform, Lubrizol has expanded its
already broad portfolio of engineered polymer solutions with the integration of
Merquinsa legacy aliphatic and bio-based* thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs),
commercialized under Pearlcoat((TM)), Pearlthane((TM)) and Pearlthane((TM)) ECO.
At Rapra's TPE 2013 conference, Maria Josep Riba, Applications R&D Elastomers
EMEAI manager, will present Lubrizol's expanded aliphatic portfolio, which also
includes new and improved molding grades.
Within the session "Innovative TPEs for the Consumer Markets," Lubrizol will
highlight its recent aliphatic innovations, which have been driven by the
increasing demand for light colors or transparency in several technical and
fashion applications. A wide variety of end-use applications from the
automotive, electronics and industrial sectors require new elastomers to combine
the outstanding properties of TPU (such as good abrasion and scratch
resistance), while offering excellent color fastness upon UV exposure. New
aliphatic Estane resins have been developed to answer these specific needs and
provide high performing features like balanced impact and mechanical properties,
better thermal stability and chemical resistance, easier processing conditions
and outstanding flexibility at lower temperatures, down to -56°C.
Lubrizol is more than a leading supplier and manufacturer of polymer solutions;
Lubrizol is a proven and trusted partner for its customers. With 50+ years of
experience and a worldwide network that includes formulation design,
manufacturing, R&D, technical service labs and cutting-edge technologies,
Lubrizol helps make its customers' products a bit more amazing. Lubrizol's
extensive polymer portfolio includes resins that can be bio-based*,
recyclable**, light stable, flame retardant, solvent-free, adhesive breathable
or chemically resistant.
Lubrizol Engineered Polymers are highly versatile, easy-to-process polymers that
can be utilized in film and sheet, extrusion, blow molding, injection molding,
over molding, calendaring and solution coating processes for industrial, sports
and recreation and electronics applications.
Additionally, Lubrizol will be highlighting other unique engineered polymer
technologies at K show in Düsseldorf, Germany. For more information, stop by K
