Lubrizol Launches New Non-Halogen Flame Retardant TPU Products
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Shanghai, China, December 8, 2014 - Lubrizol Engineered Polymers announces the
launch of recently developed innovative thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
products: Estane(®) ZHF 85AB3, Estane(®) ZHF 90AB3 and Estane(®) ZHF 85AT8.
These new products are designed specifically to fulfill growing market needs for
improved process performance - combined with non-halogen flame retardant
properties- by extrusion and molding companies.
Estane(®) ZHF 85AB3 and Estane(®) ZHF 90AB3 are both polyester-based TPUs with a
hardness of 85A & 90A respectively. Both grades exhibit very strong mechanical
strength. In addition, Estane(®) ZHF 85AT8 is a polyether TPU with a hardness of
85A. It has excellent low temperature performance and hydrolysis resistance.
Besides their unique features, these three products have common performance
advantages, including:
* Very good extrusion performance
* Silky matte surfaces
* Excellent flame retardance (UL-94 V0 & UL1581 VW-1)
Mr. Jiaming Zhang, industrial marketing manager, Asia Pacific, notes "Our new
